Do you drive faster than the rated speed?

Re: tiresgetting used up WAY to fast!!

You guys are overlooking one major thing....

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes....model=HTR+Z+II


They're cheap as fuck. Buy some good tires and you'll see a lot more life out of them. I have around 19,000 miles on my Continental ContiExtremes, and they've still got 5/32nd treadlife left. And I drive them hard as fuck. Cheap tires don't really seem like that good of a value now, don't they?
