Here ya go! Anyone looking for tires right now, it's a great time! Even if your tires still got some tread left, this is a good deal to stock up

I'm just a special kind of guy. LOL If you do HPDE your going to most likely do that on your regular street tires. (at least at my level)....so yes I do have a warranty on tires I use at the track The car is at stock ride height with stock wheels so I will absolutely have the life of the tire prorated by discount tire. They did it before for me many times. I have been a customer at the same discount tire for 11 years. It also helps that many people there are my patients and that I used to drop $2200+ for a set of PS2s for my LS (22") every year and a half . I have had a bunch of lowered cars, so I used to see these guys very often.

Mileage warranty? OK. I haven't had a tread depth problem with tracked tires. The outer blocks wear out, but there's still plenty of tread depth on them. I put 30k miles on my Bridgestones and still had plenty of tread depth, they were just cooked and greasy.

Yeah, those RE050As I trashed had the shoulder melted off in the front. It was pretty crazy.

I recently switched to the PSS and while I do notice better traction, the VSC light is flashing a lot more than when I was using a considerably less expensive set of tires (BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2).

You can always donate that Conti to the tire Gods when you need to change the other three.Plus you dont want 1 old and 3 new tires. I had 2 new RE050As in the front. They were mounted 6 months ago in February and I beat the hell out of them on the track and donated them to the trash last week when I got my PSS with probably 80% tread life .
