I got them used with my new rims. They came out to be 40-45 a tire i believe since they were used. Tread wear is minimal, but can't tell exactly because i've only had them for a couple of months. And i had to fix the flats i've had on both front tires. But the downside i've noticed with these tires is that if and when i take off real quick, the car drifts off to the side real fast. And it also tends to follow the grooves of the road. But other than that...they're alright. I'm trying to see if Michellin (sp?) makes 235 tires for my car, i heard they were the best..?

michellin pilots? they are to expensive. Get some kumos or something. or if you have the money get the bridgestone potenzas. Had them on my old mazda mx6 they were really sticky and really good on tire wear. Expensive though.
