Why I'm Buying Hankooks Instead of Pirellis...

[stateofidleness]

I think ballpark, I have about 5k on them right now and they look brand new, but like I said I don't auto-cross. I do drive pretty aggressively though so they get "used". They still grip wonderfully and didn't break my bank. There was a bit of tire "drone" for the first hundred miles or so, but it went away and they are actually very quiet tires as well. Highly recommend.

My favorite part of this whole thread...

I also highly recommend the Star Specs. I have several AXs on them and have driven across the country on the same set amazing tires there was a special on them on tire rack. but with out it now it is still about 650 for a set.

My last set of tires, the ultra-expensive Pirellis, were one of the worst tires that I've ever had on any car...

If you want a really good tires, and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for them, go with the Kuhmo ASX. I put them on both of my Boxsters. They have out performed Pirellis, Conti, and Toyo. IMHO, for the price, you can't do better. They will surprise you.

What about Sumitomo HTR ZIII?

I have been driving on the Sumitomo HTR Z111 since I bought the car in 2009 (Boxster98) and driven from Florida to Mtl in mostly rain. Still have them on and I love them.
