Is anyone runing these tires? Im just worried about how long they will last...
They will probably be on only during the middle of spring through the middle of fall...
How long do 200 tredwear tires last?
Would you reccomend these tires for Indiana climate?

I have them on my 240sx -excellent tires.
Treadwear ratings are not comparable between tire makers. A 200 treadwear Falken will wear twice as fast as a 400 treadwear Falken, but you can;t use that number to compare it to a Goodyear or a Toyo or a Yokohama.
I think you'd probably be looking at about 10k - 12k miles of driving pleasure out of them.

VErY VERY VERY awesome tires..
but if u live in a area that rains a lot, i wouldn't recommend them
as being daily tires..
they aren;t that safe in the rain at all.

BUY THE FALKENS!
Falken is the only tire I will ever run on any car. If you are worried about the traction in the rain, buy these:

Falken makes a great, long-lasting, road-hugging tire that you would never regret buying...

Don;t get the Kumho Ecsta 712's. The worst tire I've ever chosen. I drifted my car to work for a month to kill them so I could buy new tires.
