Default Re: Going in 4th set of tires

Like RTE above, I also have Falken Ziex 912. I'm loving them. They look great and are about as good of a non-directional tire you can get.

As for tire wear numbers, 190 is ridiculously low and would wear out fast. However, the higher wear number tires are also hard as hell, spin out alot at stops because they're so hard, and handle like crap in the curves. I've found tires in the 350-450 wear realm are an optimal mix of roadholding and wear. You should reasonably get 40,000 good miles out of tires with that wear rating as long as your car is within alignment specs.
