Props to toyo tires

No kidding.

200,000 miles, at a very optimistic 40 mpg combined = 5000 gallons of fuel.
5000 gallons X 3.50 a gallon = $1750
Split between two years = $8750
So you work two jobs, then spend $9k a year in gas?

Not counting the e30s gas guzzlness.

Extenza HP? I don't see any for a 14" wheel on the Toyo website, unless they're a discontinued model? Judging by the condition of the tire I'd believe over 100k if indeed 360 treadwear. Tires can last a long time if they're narrow, driven gently and are on a perfectly aligned econobox. I changed a few highly worn, high mileage tires (120k+) when I worked at a tire shop. None were as worn as the OPs though... :roll:

You did not get 200k on one set of tires.

Just stop. Your story is false.

I like that Toyo tosses us (as Pro3) some love for running their sticky tires as a spec tire.

An extra $500 in free rubber is a nice pat on the butt once every season or so...

As to 200k on a tire in 4 years? Yeah, maybe. Jenn's Snooz had 70k on the OEM's,
and had more than 1/2 tread left when I threw them away for sucking so badly...

Light econoboxes that are designed for mpg over handling are a lot easier on the rubber.

im calling bullshit on 200k, clearly you had some kind of camber or toe issue for the inside to have blown and the outside to still have some tread left.. the MOST ive ever seen a set of tires get is about 85k and that was a set of OEM tires usually the most for aftermarket is 50-60k

Actaully it wasnt blown it has been like that for a few months now. Just finally got new tires. I technically could put them on the car and drive just likw I did for a while. Yes I know. Very Stupid lol

OP, you really drove 200 miles a day? Why?

my commute from my house to ups and back then to my other job

I wouldn't want to drive that car 189 feet, let alone 189 miles per day.

HP has very little to do with tire wear. I'm skeptical as well of that kind of mileage.

yup. have you ever driven on a tire with a 70k warranty? they are rock hard and usually have a treadwear of 800+

Over the course of about 4. Commuter miles that is

Lets do some math.
22 working days in a month x 12 months x 4 years = 1056 working days to cover 200k miles.
200,000 miles/ 1056 = 189 miles a day, or 95ish miles each way PER day.

I had Toyo T1Rs and wasn't too impressed.....now running R1Rs and I absolutely LOVE this tire!

[Vincer325ei]

it's a corolla, it has like 15whp and 20tq. it's prolly auto too

how you gonna wear out tires with that setup?
