Hey does anyone have a quick opinion on driving 1600kms of highway with DR's? I was told they will be toast by the end of the trip but I can't find conclusive evidence that they will be fried

Most people I know have a second set of rear rims for dr. even if the rims dont match. so Id say dont drive on them.

DRs just wear faster than normal tires because they are stickier. It really just depends on the brand.
