kyle is a good wheel man and the vette set up underneath doenn't hurt. I just measured tread depth and I'm about 3/32 on about 1000 miles for the R888's. I'm still pretty curious though. I have a buddy with an extra set of wheels for me to borrow, I just need to come across a set of Nittos for a day.
