Generally any high performance tire will only last 5-10K miles at most.Basically if you have reg 4 seasons there and odnt drive it in winter expect to replace them yearly.This is the price you pay for trying to get traction in a fwd turbo car

Re: TRACTION!! Which Tires Are The BEST For The STREET

New tires are overrated. I like finding used road race tires on ebay. Just find the ones that are DOT approved or some road race tires for rainy/wet conditions. ---- Azenis or drag radials. I drove on my old Advan race tires on my hatch that was my daily driver from the last piece of snow melted in the spring till the first one fell in fall. All day everyday. People at my work were like...um Henry I think you need some new tires cause their looking pretty bald. I'm naw their just getting good.

This guy usually has a bigger selection for cheap. It's where I got my tires. http://stores.ebay.com/Race-Tires-USDRRT

Re: TRACTION!! Which Tires Are The BEST For The STREET

For 300ish whp what is recomended? Would azenis and a good alignment work ok?

Im curious if my alignment and camber was just fucked up and I didnt have enough rubber in the ground, azenis are cheap and easy compared to the BFG's
