Default how long do the different 315's last

how long are the different 315's expected to last, im lookin at gettin some 555's for the front and 555r's for the back, ive gotten a lot of dif numbers, so how many miles are they suppose to last

how many are the eagle f1 gsd3's or soemthin like that suppose to last, nto sure of that exact name, they cost a lot more but do they last longer, they aren tcalled a drag tire like the 555r so im not sure

what other options for 315's do i have, i found sumitomos but im not sure that cheap of a tire is good, how long do they last?

and im talking mile wise here, not a time period, but how many miles

thanks,
Justin

hmm, the most ive heard for the 555r's is 12-15, so maybe 20k justifies the huge price tag of the gsd3

It is going to depend on whether they are used for daily driving or track use.

I have had my nitto 555Rs for almost a year now of daily driving, not sure of the exact mileage...i wrote it down though so i will dig that up for ya in a bit... but they are still in great shape. I drive pretty conservative though.

I almost bought those a few weeks ago but ended up going with Nittos. I work at NTB and my store manager had a lot of good things to say about them. They will probably be the next set of tires on my car.

I bought the Verdesteins 315s on all 4 corners.

Cant really say much about wear yet but they are a quality tire. Right now, they are about the only 315s that you can buy and have shipped ASAP. Others like GR & GY will not be availible again until Spring time.
