What modes do you daily drive in?

I loved the car. Still love when I ring it hard in M mode (3s). But I usually drive in standard (1s). I started always bumping everything into (2s) and it makes my daily commute a whole lot more enjoyable.

I've been thinking about flipping the M. I'm 10/13 months into a GT3 wait... And just picked up a Ducati to hold me over. But the car may be more fun then I was giving it credit for. Still needs tires. 10k miles and rear traction sucks....

How do you guys daily drive yours?

I had traction all the way up to 23k when I switched to my 2nd set of tires. And I drive the wheels off. Still had plenty after a hard day at the track before switching to my 3rd set today @ 35k miles And this is Not my daily. Boots FTW

I have 3 sets of wheels/ tires for the M5. So the abuse is spread out! No replacements needed yet.
