Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Question: life of RE71R & 200 treadwear tires in general

Hellspawn · 09-09-2016, 04:23 AM

Question for those who have experience with RE71R tires or 200 treawear tires in general. I have heard that regardless of miles, treadwear, heat cycles, that 200 treadwear tires are fairly hard and useless after around a year.

I have a short commute to work and would like to daily these tires, figuring I could get 8-10K miles out of them with 1-2 HPDE per year, and 4-6 autocrosses per year. But if I can't get at least 2 years out of them, I am thinking I should just go with MPSS...

Thoughts?
