Default tC Tires

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums but I just wanted to see what you thought about these tires:

Seems like a good deal, right?

That is a good price but why go back with stockers? I mean i had the s32's on my tc and they were nice but wear down way to quickly..tread wear rating is only 150. From the price of those tires in that link $100 more i bought me a set of cooper zeons with a 400 tread wear rating anf they are much superior to my yokos.

No, because they're not worth the money. I've been running them for 2 years, just over 10k miles (now need to rotate them for the 2nd time), and they've got 5k left in them, at most. Now I don't knock them for the mileage, but rather the lack of performance. There are a lot of tires that perform better for less money, and also last the same miles or more, so I suggest you keep shopping.

x3. Stockers blow. I don't even have my car for 10K miles and I already got rid of them. I used them for maybe 1K miles? I replaced them with Nitto Neogens, which i praise, when i got my rims. Once winter came around and I put the steelies back on, I couldn't believe how terribly they performed. I was gonna keep them for the winter but I decided to replace them with snow tires before i'd kill myself in the snow. I couldn't make it up a bridge when it snowed once because of them. Now with snow tires = no problems . Get something else.
