Been reading a lot of reviews on these tires and receiving a pretty good impression. Great handling, great wet traction, and long treadlife (20k+ miles)


Anybody else here run them?

I have 2 on the front and have already tossed 2 of them. The tread life sucked IMO, though they were stickier than the stock Goodyears.

Nitto 555 Radials. I've got approximately 30k miles on these tires and their still good tread on them. They'll finally be replaced this month.

They don't make those for the Focus Nathan.

Joseph, how soon do they wear out. I read somewhere where people were getting around 20-30k miles out of them

that is the tire i had on the civic, Kumho 711,except for the mx part, i think mine were only HR rated though, but they went 25k on the civic, and then more on the other guys car. they had real good wet traction.

Hey Lee, Scott ( with the purple 96 gts) can get you a hell of a deal on tires. Give him a call at 205-663-3831, ask for scott in parts. I got some Bridgestone Fuzion's for a friend Camry and cost around $280 mounted and balanced. That is where I always get my tires from and I even put Falken's on the cobra for $86 each.
