I have over 17,000 miles on my car and they are barely worn, I did just swap out the fronts to dunlop sp9090's but only because I got both tires and installed for $149 (they are $235 a pc normal price)

eh daily driver all year round. 1 yr = 13k miles

terrible

my kumho's will last a little longer than that hopefully

I have had them for about 7 months.

Hoping to make it till turn in time but I doubt it I will just buy some crappy tires and throw them on there and turn it in.

225/45/18

increase the patch size = better response and life

Kumho ecstas SPT = cheap, look good, and grip well. However in cold weather they take a little longer to warm up.

I just got the Falken FK 452 in 225/45/18 for 135/tire at www.discounttiredirect.com. I really like them. They are 300 AA A too. Next cheapest is the kumho spt.

why not rotate them? do you enjoy spending money? it's easy to do, all you need is 2 jacks.

ok it also depends on what your car is.... the ss/sc and i think the ss come with a softer tire then the other modles that are rated for about half of the life
