OEM's lasted about 33K miles...
Bought Falken Ziex 912's and two on the front must be replaced after only 22K miles...I rotate the tires every 6K miles (every other oil change)...
I have been taking my autos to a firestone 'store' for the past 2 years and have had very good service with them, no complaints from either shop...(1 close to home and another close to work).
I bought the Falken's from a different shop.
I guess I didn't do my homework with the Falken's, evidently they are a soft tire (good grip etc) but poor for high mileages..
Anyway local Firestone shop recommends dropping down to a passenger tire vs a performance tire....will save money and last longer...
What do you guys think?
2 tires I am considering so far are the Firestone FR710 ($118 per) and Bridgestone Turanza Serenity ($163 per) not including mounting road hazard etc...
FR710's are a 65K tire and the Turanza is 45K..
On the Turanza, it is buy 3 get 1 free, which in the end make them about $50 more for a set of 4 over the FR710. Turanza get very good ratings and is probably a superior tire for handling etc...FR710 will probably last longer and not offer as good of ride/handling...
What would you do?
Thanks folks
