nails suck! i used to get them all the time, but i got them in the tread so they could be repaired all the time with a plug.

i haven't had to replace my tires yet space, but mine spin a lot more then they should and leave extra long black marks on the road so they may not last as long as they should..lol

On my 2000 Monte Carlo SS I replaced the factory Goodyears at 40,000 miles.They still had enough tread to pass state inspection (3/32) but winter was coming.

Thanks Mod Wiz, David & Members for your post.
40 K miles is great on a set of tires.
I haven't driven that many miles yet : )

Space
Mine still looks great at 9,000 miles. The car now is a year old. So I can not complain about them yet.

when i bought my car it had no tread on them a 56K miles so i replaced them with fuzion HRI for $225 for all four and installed and they where great they had alot of traction compared to the goodyear ones before.

Now with my rims i have falken FK 452 and if i get the same tires as i have it looks like it is going to be about $200 dollars a TIRE
