Good advice. And it worked!
After mulling it over, I decided to go with the PUP. I know its vain, but there's gonna be a lot of Model 3's coming out, including the SR one next year. Couldn't shake it that I have the performance version that I dropped $70k for, and it would look no different than the 35k version. So for $5K, it made me feel like I have the legit performance version (like a BMW M3 vs a conventional 3 series).
Yeah, it's probably not a financially wise choice or as mentioned before, more about vanity versus practicality. But hey, might as well!
Now, any advice for cheap 19" aftermarkets for winter tires?
