I'm not nice to my daily tires and I can't keep buying others' hand-me-down wheels. Would you still suggest the same for me?

tl;dr, any of these would be great in my opinion. Use them for what you're buying them for and none of them will let you down. |

Sure. I'm boosted with over 400whp and still have enough grip.

I echo going for the Firehawk Indy 500s. I'm barely getting into the tread at 1.5 years later and I do not go easy on my tires at all. To be fair,
I only roughly put on 4k miles on the car a year but at 2 years in(My 8k for 2 years + prior owner 4k, so 12k total) with the MPSS they were toast and sliding all over. At the rate the Indy 500s are going, I think they'll outlast those prior tires I had by triple and probably much more. And they'll do so with providing better grip by far in both dry and wet. They were a steal at the price we all got them for months ago and now that they increased the prices about 20% more, they're still a bargain for what they are. |

Tyre size and camber are things you need to consider.
To much camber is a big issue. You need to look at how your car is using the contact patch. They little triangle wear indicators are there for a resson. |

As fast as physically possible*, if I didn't want to do that I wouldn't have bought a sports car or good tires.
*Not on public roads of course Quote:
And that is not the purpose of the triangles, those exist to indicate where the wear bars are. https://www.yokohama-online.com/Tyre...Tyre-Knowledge But we're way off topic now, my apologies for being snarky. |

If you have wear on or past the triangle add camber/psi If your rear is not near the triangle remove camber/psi. From talking to some tyre guys at the track and tech nights, you want your tyres to show signs of wear close to or at the tip of the triangle. This is a rule of thumb guide if you don't have a pyro gauge. It has been working well for me for years Found a linky with pics that describes it better. http://www.trackdayguru.com/tyre-management.html |
