Default Re: Tire Longevity

Well I put the LM-25s (265/35/19s) on the rear today (the Exclaims were almost slicks & got a startle in the rain this morning ...bam-bam-bam TC!!)

They're only V rated (but are unidirectional)......but I rarely go over 149mph anyway!!

Tires-easy still wants $367 each????? I paid Tire-Rack $105!!!!

Took them up to 100 this afternoon & did some modest cornering.....I can't tell they are winter tires...

If they don't last long....so what, I haven't been able to get over 25K out of any tire so far.

No louder than the Exclaims.

Maybe because they are load rated 94 (whereas the OEMs are only 92)....but I sense no sidewall flex so far &...they are no more squirmy brand new than the Exclaims were when they were brand new??.


PS: still happy with the $67 Achilles ATR Sports on the front.
