For you, anything made out of Kevlar would be a good idea.

mud boggers..or some rock crawlers those should hold up to the screws a little better. Lol maybe you just live in a rough area? No problems here *knock on wood*

I don't know how to answer this one. On the street, I baby it.
On the track, I push it as hard as I can.

I like the kevlar one lol... well I live in NYC and the roads are atrocious here... I try to go as slow as possible around potholes and still no luck... my car has a few squeaks here and there but these tires are killing me! lol idk how much longer I'm gonna keep my V6 (I'm thinking of upgrading to a New Edge GT soon) but we'll see what happens...

You really don't wanna ride on these roads in and around NYC... where I go to the gym, it takes me 3-5 minutes to get there but that's because I have to go less than 5 mph on some stretches of road... it's that bad... and don't get me started on Manhattan itself, that is horrific.

I drive mine pretty hard, she's getting old with 144xxx miles on it but knock on wood, no engine problems runs great aside from an ominous squeal it makes... but just tonight taking my gf home i had it to 100 on the way there and 110 on the way back..other than that i really just try to get up to the speed limit as fast as possible..haha. I can't launch it or anything though..big wide soft tires on a 6er..not smart seeing as i had to replace the rear end when my bro dumped the clutch and it gripped and stripped the gears..

I really tear into my car at every opportunity. My shocks are D.E.A.D. dead and my 8 month old brakes are nearly shot thanks to many an 80 to 0 stop coming up to my driveway. I get it to WOT on the road in front of my house regularly, and I like to keep it there until I hit the speed limit, + or - a couple mph. Then again, I do live in the country, and we have well maintained roads (except the one I rolled my blue 99 sixxer on last Halloween). Still, as soon as I hit town, I calm it down. Between the straight pipes and sub-woofers, the fact that I have to pass a Police Station to get through town is not something I want to do topped out (in either RPM's or stereo volume).
