Re: Stupid Question
heh.. my early tib had the 14s.. the stick michelins were 120 a pop in a 195/60/14. I am currently running the Potenze RE750.. but I am looking at the new Perilli P Zero Nero M&S.. I like the idea of an all weather tyres that can stick with the summer ones

Did you take your tib w/ you when you got relocated Solo??
Nope i sure didn't! I'm glad i didn't bring it now. If i would have the suspension would have be shot by the time i got back to the states. The tires would have be shit, the wheels would have been destroyed. I'd probally have 8000 door dents. stereo might have been stolen. and not to mention rust quicker then shit. I got a honda civic now!

195/60R15 are $75 a tire, and lower the treadwear number the longer they last!!!
dude, you're full of sh1t when you say the lower treadwear # the longer they last.
you want more proof? Sears Gaurdsman III Tire. very cheap tire. 30,000 mile tread-life warranty. that tire has a treadware # of 300
i am now quoting http://www.1010tires.com/tiretech.asp#markings
QUOTE (www.1010tires.com)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading rating is a quality rating system developed by the American Department of Transportation. It is designed to tell consumers the relative performance of passenger tires (but does not apply to winter tires).
Below is an example of a UTQG Rating:
150A B
The "150" indicates the treadwear rating
the "A" indicates traction
the "B" indicates temperature
The Treadwear rating is based on a wear test performed on a 400 mile government test course covering specified sections of public roads in Texas. A group of not more than 4 test vehicles travels the course in a convoy so that all tires experience the same conditions. Tread groove depths of the tires being tested are measured after each 800 miles. The same procedure is followed for a set of "control" or "course monitoring tires" Upon the completion of the 7200 mile test, the rating results of both tires are compared, and the tires being tested are assigned a treadwear rating according to government standards. This number can be used to compare between tires. In the above example, this tire rated 150 should last 1/2 as long as a tire rated 300. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use and may be significantly different from the norm due to differences in road characteristics and climate.

A grade of 100 would indicate equal wear, 200 would indicate double wear, 300 would indicate triple wear, etc.
so. a tire w/ a treadware of 150 lasts half the length of 300. Your precious Yokohama AS430 w/ 440 will last .57 (a little more than half the length) of a Michelin Hydroedge that has a treadware # of 760.
i just fvckin OWNED you!
wn: you may think you know your tires.... but here's a hint: you're wrong
there's NO WAY a treadware #760 tire such as the HydroEdge will wear out quicker than a Yoko w/ #440. :roll:
and i don't wanna come across as an asshole, but you are wrong and are very adament in thinking you're right. i know my tires a lil more than you wink1.gif

Re: my car broke down (again)
i have has kumho ecsta supras on my 15's. they were simply PERFECT. no loss of traction. sharp as a blade. deflected water so well to the point where you need not to worry about speeds. corvering handles super. tire width was super. i mean, at speeds of 90, it seemed like the road was not even wet! the treadware was 350 on them (one of the best), and at $85 per tire, they are the best deals i've seen so far. i think i'm going to go for another run with those on my 17's.
