Does anyone know how this looks?

My car is a daily driver and I am having a heck of a time trying to find a tire with good treadlife in a 315....

Thanks,
Brandon

It looks alright. Add a 1/4" spacer and it feels the fenders nicely.

How long have you been running them? Have you gone through a complete tire life cycle? I' ve got the 315 nittos and figure I will get around six months to year Bald. Driving approx 40 mile a day highway. I am just curious if you guys with non nittos notice more rubber burn off due to the non-grip factor and if the tires actually last if you are aggresive with the gas. Thanks in advanced for your response.

ANyone have pics of a 285 on a 10.5" rim????

I like the Nitto's in 315, but am afraid of the excessive tire wear and the wet traction, with my stang being a daily driver.

You can worry about the tread but don't fear the rain I have sick grip on the wet roads.

Let's see if I can get this to work:

The tires in the back are 285/40/17 Kuhmo's Ecsta Supra 712's.

Nice! Does anyone think I can get around 10-12k out of the Nittos?

What about the Goodyears?
