Great thread! I have a 2015 and have a similar build thread and goal.

The rule of thumb I was taught was if your fingernail catches, you have a problem. Dunno if that's still correct on a more advanced engine like the Coyote.Internal (with new VCT solenoids):
I did notice some (what I would consider) odd wear/discoloration on some of the cam lobes. However...I've had the car for pretty much its entire life and never any metal shavings in the oil. I did an oil change after this as well and even cut open the oil filter - not a single sign of any metal shavings anywhere. The cam lobes themselves are super smooth too. So I'm just going to chalk this up to normal wear and nothing's wrong. Anyone who may have any insight otherwise, let me know though.

... they DO come in 18s. I'm considering buying a set of 275/35r18s when I wear out my Firehawks, but haven't learned yet if they last very long.I really wish they [Kumho Ecsta v730] came in 18s. I really love the tire myself.
They do but not in wider sizes unfortunately. The V730s last a bit. Maybe not as long as Conti ECFs but definitely longer than others... they DO come in 18s. I'm considering buying a set of 275/35r18s when I wear out my Firehawks, but haven't learned yet if they last very long.
