I'm definitely in the 'burbs...actually quite a bit of farmland too out this way, but ya know... its New Jersey...you can go from 6 lane highways to busy town centers to the middle of nowhere in the span of 10 or 15 miles. There's always a highway to cross somewhere and that always means some crap on the road.

I only paid 30 bux a tire for these...I won't be horribly upset if I have to shelve em and only dig em out for a track day.

any recommendations for something a little tougher?

These Michelin Krylion tires are well reviewed (and have an awesome yellow stripe)
