i just put some bf goodrich t/a "kd" tires in on my other car, they have a treadwear of 200. i swear it took them ~1000 miles to stop feeling greasy and squirmy... maybe this means they'll last a long time?? they are sticky. and pricey! i've heard those treadwear ratings can be unreliable.
I have a friend that runs these Falkens on his RX7. Then again a 4000 pound car is going to be harder on tires than a 3000 pound car. Time will tell. Price wise these weren't too bad. All 4 were $812 shipped to my door.
