Tire time in advice
Ok funds are low need some rear tires I was thinking gmax ao3 ( i think) but I was hoping to get a little wider than stock 295,305 but I only see up to 275 if not I found toyo proxes st2 in a 295 40 20 which is in my range but cant find any info. I just want a tire that will last for a bit 30000 or more my p zeros lasted 16000 of fast driving but not one burn out. So what do u guys think?

You cant expect to get 30k out o fthe rear tires on these cars. Typical mileage on these cars for rear tires would be mid teens to lower 20k.
The Toyo ST2 is an excellent tire with all-season capabilities. |

I did more than a couple burnouts and got 36K miles out of the Pirellis that came on the car. Most of that was freeway miles though, maybe 70%. I replaced them in kind by ordering from tirerack.com for a decent price. I don't see a need for higher priced tires that may not last that long. I don't race on curvy roads so these are fine for me.
