Called Firestone today to schedule a new set of the Wide Ovals. Found out they are being discontinued and was told they can be had at a good price - IF they can track a set down. Still waiting on the exact price, but if you're in the market, might try giving them a call to see what kind of deal you can get.

This will be my third pair since I bought the Riviera. They are great tires, and it's too bad they're being discontinued. Many Vette owners will be saddened.

If I recall, you don't run them in the winter, right?

I do, but don't recommend it. I've been on a schedule that puts a new pair on the front each year about this time (I rotate, but one pair always seems to wear faster). The idea is a brand new summer tire will work almost as good as a seasonal tire with some wear, or it has in my case.They stink when there's real snow on the ground but not as bad as you'd think, and around here that's only about 10 days out of the year. I need all 4 this time. Almost down to slicks right now.

how many miles did you get out of yours Aaron? i think we have similar "spirited" driving styles. im only getting about 35k out of my 80k miles Michelin's

I guess about 45-50k miles. I drive more than 30k per year, and a set lasts me about 1.5 years. But I go way past the thread wear indicators, and my edges are worn completely bare on both sides.
