Hahaha keeping an eye making sure she's not forgotten

I am running OEM 19" Forged 2010-12 GT500 wheels with 285-35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3's. I found them locally brand new for $1,000 35 minutes from me before I bought the car. Guy just wanted them out of his garage. They are one of my favorite wheels ever made, along with my 2008 F150 Harley wheels. Ironically, found them almost 3 years ago to the day, that I found my Harley wheels. Talk about fate.

They look nice - couldn’t tell if they were factory or aftermarket wheels.....

I stick with my stock rims and tires,
run close to 100,000 miles on them and the spare +1,
to keep the tires good on 4 wheels because the
new purchased cause either the fronts wear faster than,
or the rear wear faster than the fronts,
and Aluminum trucks seem to wear the rear faster than the fronts.
Wonder if its the torque ? "O" that turbos motor ?

On my pick ups, the rear tires seem to wear faster, I am most positive it has to do with the throttle in radiator driving techniques

in Theory if foot is stuffed thru the floor wid that acceleration the tire life is proportional to the time spent with foot stuck thru the floor! The changing of tires is getting very expensive!

Will put on 3" rims with the next F150. Handling is awesome.
