Is it true that you really cant compare tread wear ratings from one brand of tire to the next? My current tire has a 400 tread and lasted me exactly 2yrs of boosted fun, with pretty good traction. For my next set im thinking of picking up a set of Nitto NeoGens. Problem is that they are only rated at 280 tread, and Im worried i wont be able to get at least 2yrs out of them. They seem to be getting rave reviews, despite the low wear rating.

i got exactly 2 yrs and 2 months on my set, and i did alot of driving, i had a 40 min commute to work for almsot all last year. SO i was driving around 100 miels a day and im always rough on tires. Im finally buying myhand set this week, i ran the tread all the way down to 1/32 and the stell belts still arent showing and i still have some traction. but i wont lie wet traction sucks when thread is that low of course lol, but best set of tires ive had so far, had kumho and falken before hand and didin approve of them
***hmmm im not boosted so that throws a lil curve ball in there, but for the price they cant be beat 205/40 on ebay go for 268 shipped new 215/40 on ebay 336 shipped price goes up as tread size goes up of course hope any of that helps This post has been edited by illneversellmycelli: Feb 12, 2008 - 9:16 AM -------------------- ![]() |
