Billy said it himself that these tires aren’t as track focused as the R’s.. my best guess is that you’re going to get more miles out of these as well so maybe give them a chance.
Was your R new? If so that’s bonkers you got one for under sticker.. congrats nonetheless. I have sticker pricing on a 19 as well.. but I’m impatiently waiting to see if I can find a reasonably price 19 R haha.
I do remember someone talking about water jacket modifications for 19’s from a “trusted source” a while ago on here but I tried searching for it, couldn’t find it.
There have been 5 non R’s I’ve seen at the dealership within the last 18 months. Now I just can’t wrap my head around them thinking they’re not street legal...I’ve seen an R with Wisconsin tags before. And I’d love to acquire a 2019 because the dealership doesn’t do markups.
So I just got off the phone with a dealer back in my homestate, they said the reason they couldn’t get an R is because “they’re not street legal in Wisconsin.” I laughed when the manager told me that. He even went as far to say the owner tried purchasing one and they couldn’t get one for him...
