I put some Kumho tires on my ride when I switched up my wheels and they haven't lasted 10K and almost need to be replaced. Tread wear rating is like 420 too! I can't afford to be buying tires every year. here's my questions with my answers. Thanks!

1. what kind of tires do you have? (kumho esctas sp?)

2. how long have they lasted? (under 10K and a year)

3. what size are they? (mine are 225 fronts and 255 rears)

4. do you drive your car hard? (yes)

5. how much did you pay for them? ($550 for the whole set!)

10k on 18s I would think they last longer since they are smaller.

1. what kind of tires do you have? Toyo Proxes 4

2. how long have they lasted? I had them for 3+ years already!!!; keep in mind though, from Nov - March I have my winter wheels and tires on each year. They are getting pretty bald though now; not sure if I want to replace them yet or completely change my wheel and tire setup.

3. what size are they? 245/35/19 all around

4. do you drive your car hard? yes, but lately it has been difficult because of the wear; no real tread life left...

5. how much did you pay for them? They came with my wheels but if I break it out I think they were around $160/ea.

ME TOO! That's why I'm trying to find out what others are running and how long they lasted compared to the price! Been leaning toward the Toyo's or the Michelin Pilot sports.........

Seize

I agree...

Nitto Neo Gen on front, Toyo Proxes4 on rear
Fronts 1 month, Rear about 3 months
Front: 225/35/20, Rear: 245/35/20
Don't drive hard
Craigslist special $160 for Fronts, $100 for Rears
I have negative 2-3 degree camber but I can already tell the Toyo's are good from all the different tires I have owned.
Warning! Do Not buy the Summitomo Tires=Bad tires

255/35-18 front - 32000 on them so far, good shape still...
275/30-19 rear - 30000 on them when I replaced - they were still marginal

now, 285/30-19 Bridgestone RE050, 2000 miles is all

I drive hard 60% of the time...

Cost - can't tell ya, it's cheaper than cost direct from the manufacturers though...
