I just got 18x9 chrome bullits and need some tires. I'm trying to find some that will last a while since I do a lot of highway driving. I was looking at Yokohamas but don't know how long they last. I need you guys to tell me what tires last for a while and still look good. Everything I see is $200 a tire and thats why I was looking at Yok's. Please give a little help.
Thanks

Well, I have the Yokohama AVS ES 100's on my 18 inch Cobras and I LOVE 'em. They are 275/35/18's. I WILL be buying another set when these go !!

Go to tirerack.com and compare the UTQG ratings on each tire's spec sheet. 300 and greater is a long-wearing performance tire. Most good touring tires (aka no traction, hard compound) are in the 600 range which means they'll last twice as long as a 300 tire.

Goodyear ZR45 = 220

Nitto 555 Extreme = 300

Nitto 555R Drag Radial and 555R II Extreme = 100
