I'm about done with my Advans, after about 13k miles. I'm looking to upgrade my tires and use my stock IX wheels. I don't track my evo much at all, I just DD it with a few quick sprints in there. I'm looking for decent performance tires, but mostly just tires that I can have on for alot of miles. 15-20k miles. But I'd like to have them have decent performance too, or close to the Advans. Keep in mind, I don't drive my car that crazy, so I probably never used the Advans to what they are supposed to be used for.

What would be you guys tire selections for me?

 

Something that would still provide good handling, but some life also, would be out of the ultra high performance class. I'd look at Bridgestone's RE760, the Yoko S-Drive, or Dunlop DZ101 (in that order). Any of those will still provide great dry traction and response, but added life. Not overkill like the OE Yoko's or other max/extreme performance tires.

 

What about the Sumitomo HTR Z III? I had been looking at that one and it seemed great for the price.

 

Toyo T1R's are great. There not overly expensive and they have great performance
