im just interested has anyone tried this tire out? also a higher tread wear number is better correct????

 

also how about the nitto 555?

 

Had that on my M3.... pretty good tires for the price.... not as
sticky as Falken Azenis or Kumho MX...

 

did they last longer though..... looking for a fairly affordable performance tire....

 

doh please move to tire forum i posted in the wrong place...

 

bump....^

 

I'm looking at a used EVO with these tires on it...

I'd like to know how they handle, they seem very similiar to the Yoko ES 100, which has been said to be a poor handling tire on the EVO. I have ES 100's on my Subaru currently, and have been happy with them. But I haven't felt the crazy grip of the stock EVO Advans, so....

Anyone runnin these Falkens?

 

Used Evo in SLC, why couldn't there have been one when I was looking. One of my friends has these on his G20 Turbo and he thinks they are fine, unless it snows.

 

I had the nitto 555 street tires on my maxima. Definatly some of the stickiest z rates I have ever had. tread ware was decent (15kmiles with no track time) but after about 7.5-10k miles they started getting kinda hard and lost alot of the grip. Heat cycles maybe?

 

toyo all the way

 

I'm not a fan of nitto at all, kumho MX's or falken azenis for replacement evo tires... unless you plan to drive in winter

 

To answer your question...if the tread wear rating # is high your tires will wear less and theoreticaly be harder...the lower the # the opposite applies although these are manufacturers #'s and really are not to be taken as gospel...
