I had a set of 245/40/18 on my Grand Am GT I used to have, put about 10,000 miles on them, and sold them looking brand new.http://www.cardomain.com/id/psyclone69my old carThey gave me some awesome performance, I drove it harder than my 240, and didn't look like they wore a bit in over 10,000 miles.

Kick *** drift tires! I have them on the back and when I put them on the rim I had to run the pressure up almost 70psi before the bead set! Good side wall!!!!

That was to set the tire on the rim! The sidewalls on 50 series did not want to set! NO FLEX! and cheep = drift tires.* (*for the rear)

It depends on what you are doing.. Drag they are fine but, for drifting not so good you want the front tires to give a little in a corner, its scary when the front comes loose!
