Tire recommendation

Currently have General Exclaim UHP tires but not happy with them...they are wearing out too fast, plus I've blown through three of them.

Looking for an inexpensive tire for a daily driver in Las Vegas (i.e. heat and very little rain).

Durability and comfort are the key factors here...I don't track it so high performance isn't necessary.

You may like Yoko Avid Envigs -- wear rating of 560 vs 380 for the Gens.

Nitto Neo Gen, good all around, great stick, quiet. They don't get squirrely on the interstate grooves.

Have had them on for a year, love them still.

+1 on the Nitto
I had them as my last set and miss them. I will be going back.

Hankook V12 Evo - inexpensive, highly rated in dry and rain, great looking, great performance - probably the best tire for the price. They would be perfect for Vegas weather.
