Default Tire Lifespan

Looking at doing 18x9 deep dish black bullits for my car, with 275's out back and 255's up front. Not being able to rotate tires, how many miles will I get out of them?

it all really depends on how hard you run them
and you will beable to rotate the back ones
i assume that you havent done a t loc in the rear so with the open differential most of the power and wear is on the right rear tire
it also really depends on what kind of tires you get
cheep tires will last you quite a while less than a set of good nittos

Rotating helps keep the tire wear even, so when you do your burnouts constantly, you tires wear evenly an you can buy a whole new set in 11k miles...

Tires should last 40k miles if the car is driven properly... [8D]
