Suggestions for long lasting tires

NickTurnon · 11-04-2013, 11:27 AM

When i got my car, it had Hankook Ventus v12s on it that lasted me 40k - and i still had around 20-30% tread when i got rid of them.

I replaced with new Falken 452s - they have 17-20k on them now and still have 70% or so life left in them. 275s in the rear. Bigger then the V12s which were only 245s. Also were decently priced compared to others. $130-160 or so a tire.

Daily drive mine and MPG/mileage is a concern for me unlike lots of others on here. Good luck!

I've had v12's in the past and they didn't last me that long. Do you baby the car?

Daily driven and don't do any circuit tracks or anything. Ive been to the drags strip 2x now with the current tires and generally drive a little harder then most on the streets.

I wouldn't say I baby the car. But I definitely don't get on it as much as a typical young guy/ricer racer lol
