Default Front runner tires

Ok guys Im about to order new tires for my prostars on my Lt1 car and wanted to know what you guys think would last the longest? I have m/t sportsmans and they wore out fast I have thought about going with vw tires so they will last longer but will they hold up good on a lt1 car? What do you guys think? Give me some input! lol Thanks

I had VW tires they will not last long at all. They are designed for a 1800lb vehicle with a top speed of 65mph. Something I will never do again. I don't know why your Sportsmans wore out so quick. The ones on my BBC car are on their third summer and still look brand new.

I have heard the same thing about the khumos. They wear out quick. Maybe something was wrong with the pressure in your m/ts?

Might have been the 4-ply vs. the 8 ply. The 4 ply are made for lightweight drag cars and rail cars. the 8 ply is for a 3500 lb car!
