Grip and Longevity don't go hand in hand, the best happy medium is 555R's, they'll last you about 9k with spirited driving and hook better than 99% of street tires out there.

Is that price per tire? If so what size is it on the Vredestein? We might have a better price.

Yea, I'm in the same boat as you, the car doesn't have to come out at all. If that is all you're going to put on it per year, why not some MT DR's instead? They will hook on the street with your H/C and you'll only be replacing them every 12-18 months if the car doesn't get out much.

Yea, I was talking about the extreme drags.

We can do the Sessantas in a 275/40/17 for 139 each plus shipping. If you are in Waco it would be pretty easy to come down to Belton where we are located and pick them up. GIve us a call if you are interested.

Thanks
