Default Which Tires Last the Longest?

I just care about wear, performance can come second.

They will end up going on 19" Axis Hiros

245 front and 275/285 back.

Youre probably better of getting an all around tire like the Toyo Proxes rather than an all summer tire.

I've been very impressed with the wear characteristics of the Falken FK-451.

What tires are you looking at? What are the tread life ratings?

I haven't looked at any in particular yet. Just seeing what you guys have in mind off the top of your heads.

There's nothing written in stone which says you must put summer tires on the 350Z. All-season tires are an alternative. For additional tread wear and comfort you'll give up superior handling. Searching for all-season tires may present two difficulties: size and speed rating.

Do any of the tires in the CR report have the speed rating needed for Zzzs, David?

Generally the tires above are rated “H” and “V.”
