What are you trying to do with them?

Summer? Winter? All season? Autox? Road race? Drag Race? Snow? Rain? Monsoon? Desert? Long Life? Circle Jerk?

Yokohama Avid T4...great all season tire that will last forever. Don't expect it to be great in autox or twisty driving though...

A treadwear of 300 should last you a while. I just started running Toyo Proxes 4, they're AA traction and have a tredwear of 300. With tire rotation every oil change I think they should last a while.

Hey. I just bought Toyo Proxes 4 for my Rota C10s. How do the tires feel for you? I broke them in for like 500 miles now and it still feels "unsafe". Is your cornering good? Cuz I took a corner and my backend just gave way. Give me your input on the tires.

I'm running Pirelli P0's on my 16's and they seem like good tyres so far, no problems whatsoever. Had them on for over 1k miles and they handle well in the wet and very well in the dry!
