I am looking for some new tires for my Daily Driver. I had Kumo 711s and liked them, but they only lasted about 15k miles. I am looking for some tires under $100/tire that last atleast 30kmiles and have good grip. Most of my driving is on the back roads with the occasional AutoX and Track event. Can I get some recommendations?

Ok, setting a price cap without giving us a size is pointless.

Aaaaaand moved to the right forum.

205/50/16s is the size I want, I am more interested in tires that are good for daily driving and back roads more then some ultra high performance autox tire. thanks for the move.

Kumho 711s are like rocks and are hard as crap. I would think your spirited driving is hurting the life. I would look into federal 595, fusions, bfg gforce, dunlop direzzas, etc.

In my opinion for that price range consider the gforce sports or dunlop direzzas. If you liked the 711s than you would definately like most other performance oriented tires out there.

From personal experience the z1-512s arn't are all what they are cracked up to be. They are just ok. They have more grip than the 711s but still not that great.
