Let alone Gatorbacks?! You must drive like my grandma. I'm on my 3rd pair of Kumhos on the front of my 89, until I hit the lotto or sell it that's what I plan to keep on the front wheels.

Nope, it's called lots of highway mileage. I never got more than 30K-35K on a set of tires for my Mustangs, but now that my driving is almost all highway, 35K is the low end of my tires' life.

Tires have more impact on vehicle performance than almost anything else on the car. Asking the question like this is like asking, "I have to fix my car, what tool should I use?" Do you drive it in the winter? Do you regularly run a road course, or just commute sedatly to Denver in heavy traffic on I-25? Is your main goal performance or longevity? Anybody who makes a recommendation without knowing this type of information is just blowing smoke. Go to the Tire Rack web site. They can help you pick the right tire according to your needs.

It is mostly around town driving and every so often down to Denver and in summer east and west on I-80.
