Default Tires

I'm going to need to purchase new rear 20" tires for my F Type (380 hp) rear wheel drive in the spring
Which brand is the best wearing to purchase ? I'm more interested in wearing characteristics as opposed to over the top preformance

First: Prepare to have alignment checked. That reduced the wear on our tires a LOT.

Second: our winter tires are Nitto Motivo and the treadwear rating on the sidewall is 560. The treadwear rating on the original Pirelli PZero was 220.

The make and model that match the fronts you are not replacing. Or just replace all 4 with the Michelins.

The DWS 06 Plus’s have a tread wear of 560.
The Pilot Sport A/S 4 are 540.
Definitely need matching sets.
Especially if you’re still rocking’ the P Zero’s up front.

Search the threads on the form because there’s a lot on tires. I believe there’s a limited choice. I then used tyrereviews.com to choose and just got the Michelin all seasons. It depends if you want to use your car all winter. You might want to get snow tires now and have a different set for the rest of the year.

I just fitted Michelin PS AS 4's a few weeks ago.
They are firm and handle well. Can't really tell the difference to the NZ's, perhaps just a bit firmer.
Will use the NZ's in the Summer until they are worn, then stick to the Mich's year round.
