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

But I'm pretty sure he drove them over conservatively to get this kind of life out of them.
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

Widest I'd go is 265 all around but that could be pushing it.
