Wow if you have less then 75% tred at that kind of KM then you are launching the car everywhere and racing it. NO way would you burn up two clutches and that much tred that quick otherwise. I would say dont drive it like its the batmobile. Also it could be a lemon based on the cylinder head comment. Unless u run some stupid mods with no tune or proper supporting mods

What mods do you have?

Also, if I were a service manager and saw a car come in with only 3,100 miles and 75% of tire tread gone I'd deny a warranty claim as well. There's no reason for that. I mean, we all know that the Pirellis aren't meant to last 50,000 miles, but still. I'm a frequent auto-x'er and road racer and my Pirellis still made it past 17,000 miles.

I think you're driving it a lot harder than you think you are. One or two problems I could see maybe being manufacturer problems, but I dunno. What you're saying doesn't add up to me.

my stock tires lasted over 20,000 miles. my entire clutch system was replaced and covered at 37,000 miles except for the pressure plate which i paid out of pocket $120 out of over $1100 parts/labor. my exhaust cracked at the flex pipe (portion of exhaust with the CAT) and it was covered at over $500 parts/labor.

Funniest thing I've heard today. You are obviously driving the car like you stole it. There is no reason outside of human failure that you have gone thru 2 clutches and a set of tires already.

Not sure what 5KM converts to in miles, I have 21k miles on mine with nothing replaced. Of course I don't have any mods either, most the pity.

My Pirellis lasted 24k before I needed at least one new tire. Probably could have hit 30k if I rotated more often.

Like everyone else is saying, you're driving like a nut. Stuff won't break or wear out if you don't.
