I have them, they came with my OE wheels I bought. I would stay away from them, Mine are down to the wear bars at 8000 miles. I do some line locks and get on it alot so that is most likely why. I dont care for the way it corners with these, the side wall gives on them. I had them on my last camaro and didnt care for them on that car either.

Your best lower budget tire I would say is the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo. They have a pretty solid sidewall as well!! I have put over 16,000 miles on mine with a few burnouts and almost two and a half years of use on them. Sadly I do not know how much longer they will last because I promised a pretty smokey burnout as a thank you to many people lol

But given that, I'd say they will last me until at least the end of summer!! And probably next spring if I weren't to do a burnout :O

+1 you get what you pay for.

I'm going with Nitto Invos on my 19s and my friend is going with Pirelli Corso Asymetrico on his 19s

mine are about $1600 a set
his are about $2800 a set
