Milton, you need to watch those tires with all that running around. I'm on a new set and the other ones barely made it to 10,000 miles! Boosted cars and tires just don't mix. So far every year I've had a new set of tires. I had the stock Potenzas, 2 sets of Nankangs, Khumos, and Toyo Proxies. We just bought some Hankook Ventus V12's for this year. Let's see how long THESE last!
The alignment on the Supra is on the money, and the only way that I'll have those tires gone, is if I start doing burnouts on it...So alignment on the car plays a big roll on how long tires last. And also since the Supra is only taken out on the weekends around town on Fri and Saturday's, I wouldn't be surprised if the car is driven no more that 2k miles per yr in it
So I'm good...

Yes sir, I like my INVO's alot. They grip great wet or dry, and are very quiet. This tire is the best bang for it's buck hands down. There has been alot of great reviews on this forum for the INVO's.

No worries Christine...I've been on the Falken RT-615 drift/drag radial rear tires for almost two months now and still have the BFG drag radials in the front since delivery of the car...and there is absolutely no wear on both front and rear tires, even with the amount of runs I've given the car and the daily use of it until I got my new daily a few weeks ago...

I had a set of those on the Cobalt, HORRIBLE tire IMO. I ran two sets of KDW2s, one set of P-Zero Rosso (OEM tires), and the UHPs. Generals were hands down the crappiest tire of the bunch. Got hard and slippery after being pushed, below average in the rain, lasted about 50% as long as my KDWs. Yes they are cheap, but you get what you pay for.

HI to everyone that's dropped off the face of the Earth for a while. lol I know how it is, I think all of us have been busy.
My tires should be coming in within a day or two, I'm about on my damn belts, so I need them in a BAD way. We're on a budget, so we got the tires around $500 shipped. I needed 215/40/18 and because of the wear they're going to see and the somewhat odd size, I only had a few choices. So I went with what most of the Mazdaspeed's were getting. They had a 5 out of 5 star rating from the people that own them. The ones I bought are new to the market, but they've gotten pretty good ratings so far. So we'll see. Everyone who has them, loves them. I like my Khumo's, but they just don't last very long - they're pretty soft, good gripping & in wet or dry awesome, but just didn't last me.
Also, I have a good alignment, but I've been in a few accidents and the car's driving in a straight line just hasn't been quite the same. It supposedly had no frame damage, but when someone hits you going 45 mph and you're at a stand still, it sucks. I hate lousy drivers.
