Default Daily driver

I currently use bridgestone potenza 760s for me ap1. I'm wondering if anyone has a better suggestion being that my S is my daily driver. I have only had the 760s for a little under a year and they are already starting to go on me. Suggestions?

I was really happy with my Yoko S-Drives. I've got Conti DWS's right now and its looking like they will last a long time. A little too hard of a compound and soft sidewall for me to be really happy, but they were excellent in the snow and are very good in the rain.

For a DD the RE760 Sport was a very good handling tire with longer tread life. I would also suggest staying with matched tires for the best performance. If I can help let me know.

I must be driving way to hard for the 760s to have long tread life. I've only had them since October and they are pretty low on tred.

That is an extreme performance tire, so most likely at the lower end of the treadlife spectrum.

How many miles is that? 5000 or 25000? What is your alignment. A poor alignment with too much toe-in or toe-out will kill tires.
