Go with the ventus v12 evo... Great price for what you get and you can afford to replace them as often as needed. I have them, as well as a few others that I know, and I will be buying them again.

I got 8,000 out of mine. Lol granted I drove the crap out of those tires and drifted on them a couple of times.

+1 Got these tires on my last car, and they were great. Low noise, grippy, good tire wear. The sidewalls are a bit soft and the profile isn't great, but for the money they can't be beat.

RIP my stock Potenzas at 42,170 miles. With the new tires, I can't imagine how I lived with the tire roar for so long.

I beg to to differ. Just changed mine out at 42K miles. The rears were worn, but not so bad that the metal was showing. I would've changed them out a long time ago if that was the case.

Man, 40K, that is great. I keep thinking I'll be lucky to get 30K but we'll see. And I don't do burnouts and drive 75% highway.

I got 25k out of mine, but could have gone a bit more. I would say I could have gotten up to 27 or 28k
