Major help!

Hey evrybody!! Okay, I need to know how long the tires on the 2ss would last? The stock pirellis? How much would they run me when ut comes
time to change them. Plus, are there any other tired with better life that I van put? What would be the best brands that are cost effective?
Thank you so much. If they are too expensive, I can say bye-bye to experiencing the perma-grin. :(

This can't really be answered with any validity. It will depend on too many variables; your driving style, the roads you drive upon, the tire pressure, etc.

I'm assuming you have the 20s on? All 4s should cost about $1400~. They should last a good while if you take care and rotate them (Can you rotate 20s?)

It all depends how much you drive and how you drive. I do constant burnouts at track with my 21s and at 16,000 they're starting to wear down, but I'm sure I can hit 20,000 on them (you can't rotate 21s though)

You can't rotate them, because the fronts and rears are different widths because of the 8" front wheels, and the 9' rears.

Oops I guess the 20s are the same as the 21s.



Only 20,000 out of 20s? Really? Wow....

Yeah $850.00 for all four tires (245s up front and 275s out back).

They will last anywhere from 10K to 30K miles depending on driving style. The rear tires will need replacing first (for most guys). My rear tires are pretty well worn down at 7800 miles, but I drive aggressively and go to the track on occasion.

My god. I gotta start using the damn internet. I was going to swap out my rears to 20s for track use and I got quoted at $380 each. (They were Eagle 1s though)
