208's are about the cheapest and slowest wearing tire out there. i run metzeler M1's and i get 1500-2000 miles out of a rear tire MAX. 208's i was getting 3000-3500 out of, but they just don't grip like the M1's.

Yea the quiker wearing of the tire the less stciky it is. I am fine with the 208zr,now you do have the 208gp that doesnt last long either.

I like the BT-014's

Better grip then 208's and last longer then the new 218's
