Need new tires
Looking for a new set of tires. Not nitto's but something with good tread life that really grips on the street. Also wanna keep road noise down. Anybody have any recommendations or personal experience with a nice set of tires. I'll be buying 275/40/17 all around. Thanks in advance

Treadlife and grip tend to be opposing forces. You need to decide how much of each you really want. If you want 20,000+ miles out of your tires you are looking at Peotenza RE-760, Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals, BFG KDW's, NT-555. 10-20K probably Goodyear GS-D3, Michelin PS2's, and you may get that much out of an NT-05. Under 10-12 K is where most of the drag radials and mac performance tires will be such as Ecsta XS, NT-555R/RII, NT-01, NT-05R, Proxes Torques, Proxes R1-R/RA-1/R-888. If you need a lot of miles out of your tires you will be up in the all season bracket. I am making some generalizations, as people have gotten more or less out of some tires, but it should be a decent guide.

Well I have a set of Nexen 3000's on my ride and so far they have been holding up pretty good. $109.00 per tire .
