    i dont know how much kilometers you want to extract from your new tyre. if you want to use for 10K and sell it then go for cheap ones that will come for $ 85 -110 from the regular unbranded tyre supplier such as Bobjane etc but if you want to good milage tyre then i would sincerly recomends you to go for Yakohama it will cost your around $ 135-155 each ( shop around ) and ask for speed rating 'V' as they are much silent tyre comparing with 'H'.

    Yakohama will give you atleast 40K easily comparing with 20K by other providors. but i leave others to give thier views too.

    I've never had good mileage out of Yokohama.

    Good tyres, but generally wear fast, but things could have changed recently.

    My tip. Great tyre at reasonable price is the Bridgestone Potenza Re002.

    I'd be disappointed if I got less than 50k out of any set of tyres... FWD Turbo cars included.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    hazrd: Perhaps try to talk to them and find out what they mean...? Other than that, I have no idea...worn out shock absorbers maybe...?
