My evo tires are just as bad now, I think I'll use these "poor man slicks" for this sunday at WAI and then I'll put another set in. That is why I didn't use the evo, cause the tires was switch lanes for me when I was on the expressway when it was wet.

Those Advans work pretty well on dry pavement when there's no tread left.

You definitely had some sort of problem, which is why the tires wore as fast as they did.
I had 22,000 miles on my last set of ES100's and that included a hand ful of auto-x's and lots of spirited driving.
The A032R's have a treadwear rating of 60. They're an R compound track tire.
I can get ES100's for about $120 a tire.

$200 a tire for Coopers just sounds extremely expensive.
Do you know what model?

What tire size are you looking for? Are these to go on your 18's?
If you dropped to 17s then I think Avon Tech M500s are a decent choice for $111 in the stock size from TireRack. I've autocrossed and driven an Evo on these tires and they are a decent tire.
