at the nissan meet i heard you guys talking about some hankook tires that have amasing wear speed im going to need a 40 series tire that fit 17’s and i want them to be a really hard compound tire so i dont have to replace them every month, i work for goodyear so i have access to almost all tires and i know the exctas suck ball$ ’ just let me know your opinion on tires (dont forget im 17 and dont have alot of money at all) :idiots ---

Can you be more specific? What are you looking for? Dry Grip? Wet Grip? All Around Use? Decent in Winter? Long Life? Do you have dedicated winter tires or will you use these tires in winter as well? ---

long life…i drive the car every day, i do highway driving a few times a month so pretty much an all around tire but wet conditions arent really a problem cause i dont do high speed wet driving that often and like i said i dont want them to wear fast at all ---
