I have a 2003 S on stock wheels as my daily and was wondering what tires would be the best for mileage. I've already own the car for a year now and have been through 3 sets of tires. my car is lowered on ksport coilovers but its not insanely low by any means and my tires don't camber out they wear evening out surprisely. I will only get a few months out of them. I will admit I don't granny the car a whole lot but I don't race it either. But any ways I've used BF goodrich's, falkens, and on hankooks now. But I wanted to know does anyone know any good tires out there that will good me a good amount of life and that will ride well would be a plus?

 

You only get a few months out of your tires? How many miles do you put on them in that time?

 

well i drive my car almost every day for work and school. The BF Goodrich I believe I only got around 3-3500 out of them, the Falken's I got little over 5 months out of them.
I've put about 12,000 miles on the car since i've owned it now.

 

Something aint right if your getting only 3k miles out of them. That or you are tracking regularly.

 

haha. I wish. I never have time. I took my car to get alignment at my friend's shop and asked him since he's a master tech if he could figure out what I could do. I asked if I needed to buy a camber kit he told me no since my tires wear evenly and he couldn't come up with anything except to ride on hard tires. I really don't want my car to ride like crap. So thats why I wanted to know if anyone knew a answer.

 

Yeah thats weird. I thought I got bad mileage out of my tires but still got at least 10k miles out of them with -3 camber too.

 

What tires are you using and on what kind of setup if you dont mind me asking? I would love to get 10K out of tires. I need to cut down on tires so my girl stop yelling at me lol.

 

Right now I have Hancook ventus V12 tires. Only put about 1-2k miles on these though Before I had sumitomo HTRz3's. Those I got about 10k miles out of I think.
Got rid of them from uneven tire wear due to bad alignment at that time so could have gotten a bit more out of them for sure.

 

Thanks, i'm probably going to try them next. Do you remember how they rode?

Well I guess I can't. I don't see them in 16s lame

 

They felt pretty nice. Lots of people are very happy with them. The ventus V12's are rated the better performer for the same price though. Loving the v12's I have on my car now. 225 up front and 255 rear.
