Need some tires that are going to last, less than two years on these ones Options

[JStanger]

I have 215/40/18 Falken's and they were good tires as far as grip goes but the fronts are almost completely bald and they were rotated. I got them in April of 2002 and they weren't on my car in the winter and they are already done. I don't even care how they grip any more. I just want something that is going to last. If you know of anything let me know.

Where did you get them?

Mine have been on for about 3 years and they are at 75% worn. And I love them. they are on my stock wheels. They are Toyo Proxes FZ4's. 225's baby, they look great
But they were a lil pricey. 600+ for all four. Good thing the first owner put them on
Sorry I cant tell you about anymore, but these have been very good to me.

yeah I had those on my first set of 17's and they wore just as quickly for me

Your best bet is to look for them through tirerack.com. They have a rating system that compares tires on a ten point scale in eight different areas. One of them catagories is tire wear, and they have alot of tires to choose from. Build a wish list off them and then just search the web for the best deal.

Need to stop doing those burnouts if they wear so fast

[JStanger]

never do burnouts

vierd.... haha. i had yokohamas that wore really really fast on my old 2000+ GTS rims(im sure others can vouch for this as well) I went with scorcher t/a's they are like street slicks, a very unique tire. i had a lot of fun, not fun for winter though, hold very well to the ground. did not wear fast.

I just bought some no namer tires off Wheelmax, so I'm guessing I'll be purchasing a new set of scorcher's soon... lol.

WHAT?? Are you serious?? I went through a brand new set and half of a new set of FZ4's last summer.. I'll never by em again.. I only spun em twice the whole year,, sure a couple chirps here and there but no big smoke shows.. I do do alot of highway driving though at decent speeds which i would explain why the centers wore completely outa them.. They did ride noce and grip good but wear too fast for me... I'm going with Kumhos next time..

one reason why your tires wear so fast is that they are soft

get the hardest tire you can find if you want longevity

also try getting a taller sidewall as well.

it looks like yours are pretty thin

Count yourself lucky, I have Pirelli 18's and they only last me 4 months on average, I am seriously considering dropping down to 17's because the cash is starting to run low..

But I do drive the car to it's limit every day..
