    Dunno how you plan on driving the car....but I have Nexen N3000's and love them. Not sure how many miles I have on them but I have had them for over 2 years now and driven all over the place and they still have lots of life left. Excellent rain traction and little to no noise on the highway.

    I need to take a pic of the tires that are on the car now, they are bald as fuck, Ive been driving on them for a year or so and when it rains I have to slow to between 45-55 mph...

    You can get them online for ALOT cheaper than that, Im not sure how much a tire shop would charge you for them though.

    This post makes no sense! lol RT615's are like track day tires, they SUCK for daily driving and SUCK in the rain out of the box. I couldn't get 6 months out of them on my Miata and I ran quite a few sets but also tracked the car regularly. They defiantly don't hold up well though. Best tires I ever used were Toyo Proxes I forget which ones, they had decent grip and lasted over a year with track days, mountain runs every weekend, daily driving out the ass, etc.

    I ran nexen n3000 before and they suck ass in comparison as far as wet or dry traction

    On my 19's I'm running General Exclaims which are good tires and on my 17's I have Nexen N3000's which are also good. Before I switched to the Nexens I was running Toyo Proxes 4 which are my favorite tires overall. I found them for a pretty good price at the site below.

    http://www.tiresdirect.net/TOYO_Prox..._P1064C168.cfm

    I usually order my tires from http://www.performanceplustire.com/ but in your case they are a little more expensive than the place above. I find Performance Plus is often cheaper than most online and local places. In addition they ship for free and only charge you for packaging which usually comes to about $20. I also like Tirerack, but with the tax and shipping charge I just can't justify spending the extra money there.

    Yokohama Advan S4 is what I ran on my Camaro. I bought them used off of a friend and they were awesome. My 92 Camaro is known for sucking in wet weather, but once I put those tires on all the problems went away. Great All Season tire.

    I say go with BFG (G-Sport etc.) for the price but yeah definitely no RT-615 if you want them for daily driving compatibility, tread wear, rain traction ..

    x2. Exact tire and type I thought about when I read the title to this thread. They are an excellent tire and not too costly. To be honest, for the quality you get with them, they should cost more. I love them!

    sounds like Nexen N3000 is the most popular choice so far, I might have to check them out...

    Go to tirerack and check out the specs on each tire. I really liked my BFGoodrich KDW-2's Great tread life. I got 70k out of them with burnouts, slides, all sorts of shit.

    So, your tires lasted longer than six of your motors? *runs*
