doesnt look that bad, but with a 160 treadwear, it wont last long either

 

i know nothing about tires, will you explain?

 

I think people on here that used sumitomos absolutly hate them. they say they cant hook for ****

 

their ratings are 160 AA.To put it simply,the lower the number, the stickier the rubber. Sticky is good for hooking up, but wont last long.I usually try to stay around 300 with my daily tires (this includes most bfgs, nittos,and goodyears). The trick to the treadnumbers is that they are only comparable within the same brand (normally pretty close though). If your looking for a cheap tire that will last awhile, try the "general exclaim uhp".They came on mine andI thoughtI would never wear those things down. Not sure if they have 315s

 

i used to work for ntb, they are made by yokahama, i beleive. they are good, but u get what u pay for, the only down side might be tread wear

 

I have them and like them. I've had them on the car about 3k miles including some donuts and they're holding up great. They handle well and still provide a nice ride. They don't hook to well off the line though, and when shifting into second spritidly I've gotten sideways before.
