10 year old tires on a supercar

Not sure why you'd want a such a soft tyre tyre that lasts so few miles just to counteract the fact it needs replacing anyway.

Very very lucky. I remember one time when i was having my car serviced and there was a 993 turbo up on a ramp having several thousand pounds worth of suspension mods done and noticed the tyres were full of cracks. Some people need to get their priorities sorted.

this is true, its a simple engineering principle i'm amazed that people don't seem to understand that the only bit of your car that actually touches the road has an effect on handling

see below - there is a reason why formula one car tyres last 5 laps.

Something like sports cup series, ultra soft but last for nothing.

what is the difference in costs compared to say half decent tyres like eagle f1's?
 
Massive difference in cost. Cup Sports on my GT4 are twice the price of PSS or PS4S, to give you an idea.

When you consider you get maximum 10k out of the Cups, more likely 5-6k, they become a sizable investment. However, IMO, the insane levels of grip are worth it.

thought as much. is there an in between though? doesn't cost the earth. lasts say 10-12K and offers pretty good grip?
