220 treadwear tires - Lateral-g Forums

RdHuggr68 · #1 06-06-2020, 06:19 PM

I bought Falken Azenis RT 615 for my 68 Camaro, I have yet to drive the car due to paint jail and numerous other issues but am second guessing my purchase. 200 treadwear is a little too sticky for street use . I am looking for a good performance tire with a 220 treadwear rating. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why is it too sticky? I ran on rival s (200AA) with no issues and now have a 0 tread wear on the back...

I just painted the car , a friend says his pickup a lot of loose rock off the road and wear out fast since they are a soft compound tire.

I have the 615k+ and unless you are doing a good amount of AutoX and burnouts you should be able to get good life out of them. I would be happy with 15-20k miles. I replaced my fronts last year, they had about 8000 street miles and 100 autoX runs. I could have gotten a lot more without the AutoX. The cords were starting to show on the inside edges.

Yeah they are stickier and pick up small stones and such. Have you considered putting a clear film in those areas for your paint protection?

I have thought about putting on clear film to protect the paint. I am just testing the waters on different tires. Not sure what is new out there in the tire market. Thanks for the info.
