Stop doing burnouts and the rears will last as long as the fronts. Also for the best handling it is best to replace all four tires at the same time. Your want opinions on tires, go to Tirerack web site and you can compare Brands.You will find better info then thereplies you will get here.

I have seen the opinions at tirerack go both ways on a tire at times. They are from regular everyday people like in here. (with the exception of one in here). You can also do a search in here and find threads on tire opinions. I can tell you I love the Kuhmo Ecsta (sp) and will never buy another set of dunlops.

I LOVE my Kumho Ecsta they were cheap and the size I needed. I don't race on them so I can't really say about traction but for comfort and price and road noise I give them A+

They are a damn good tire! The ones I used were considered thier super summer tires but they got excelent wet weather traction. And I drove my car hard in corners.
