My set should have lasted longer. I replaced all 4 after less than 2 years due to a couple of reasons: One of the front tire suffered a minor puncture

I ended up getting my hancooks. They got the tires @ 10:30 AM. I stayed up a little later than I wanted to today (I work nights) but it barely made my deadline.
My initial reaction is the tires felt very slippery but I am pretty darn sure its because of how they were cleaned and the fact they are bran new. I am sure I will have a better idea of how they are once I put a couple hundred miles on them and actually start driving normally again. |

The might also feel a little more squishy than you're used to because you are going from a tire with not much tread left to one with full tread, so you'll feel that tread deflection. The sidewalls are also a bit softer. All-in-all a good street tire.

I have a NISMO, so I got Yokohama Advan Sports as Stockers. /Disclaimer I replaced my rears w/ V12 because my stock rears were shot (down to the steel belts) @ 25K. The fronts are still good and will last me a few more months. The V12s were kinda sucking when they were new, but got considerably better as I wore them in. Not as sticky as the Advan Sports, but compariable. Advans have a tread wear of 180 and the V12s have a tread wear of 280. Advans cost 290-360 for rears (depending on where you get them) and V12s cost around 220-245 for rears. I doubt I will go with the V12s up front though. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome for the price. I figure if I am going to replace the fronts, I am going to go with Yokohama Advans all around again or Hankook Ventus R-S3s (140 tread wear). Both tires are around the same price, but the Advans are the stock equipment.............meh

Kind of a funny tidbit, but now that my Pirelli PZeros are at the wear bars after 8,000 miles of driving I am looking at tires and what do you know? I'm looking at the V12s again for my street-only setup even after I said I wouldn't run them again. I don't want to have to replace a street-only tire every year.

Geez, at 8,000 miles, I'd have to replace my tires almost twice a year!

These PZeros go quickly! I could probably keep driving them to 10k but that's about it.
