The Sessantas aren't too expensive. I mean, I got like 40k miles out of 555s but I'd never buy them again.

I'm happy with the potenza's life but they are a little more expensive and people talk **** about them
I'm so lost when it comes to tires, it seems like everyone has strong opinions about different types and they all disagree.
I guess its just gonna have to be a chance thing for me
