Replacement Tires for C70 (225/45-v17)? C70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Geoff Given on  Tue Feb 20 03:47 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am looking for suggestions on replacement tires that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg and also have longer treadlife. I am willing to sacrifice a little performance for treadlife. Most of my driving is on the freeway. Here has been my brief experience with Pirellis:

P6000- I am not satisfied with the treadwear on these. Not only is it short, but even with constant rotating of the tires, they still have worn out on the inner side much quicker than the outer. They are also fairly expensive.

P7000 Super Sport - I replaced my original p6000 with the p7000 (cheaper and on the hopes that they would be more durable). The P7000 has been pretty good. I think I have been able to get about 30K out of them (mostly freeway driving). They have worn evenly as well. Although, I think they are much noisier than the P6000.

All in all, I was pleased with the P7000, but I want more treadlife for less money (and I'll sacrifice performance)!!!

Thanks for any suggestions and or thoughts.
