Lifespan of any sticky/performance tyre is excellent on the lightweight 1200. For that reason, it's difficult to rationalize using anything else (they are safer and corner better than "long lasting" tyre formulations).

For $150 each you can get some nice very high performance tires. Like Bridgestone Potenza RE002 ($180 AUD) for 195/55R15 or Potenza RE-11A for 195/50R15 ($124 USD).

i have a set of used semi's that you can have for $100 each, still plenty of tread.

The 595 has been a good price lately, but for cheap and effective tyres alot of the regional drifters seem to like the Achilles 123. I quite like gt radials but for the 14s I just bought a set of potenza re001s, I am a fan but i hadvent had a new set before so time will tell whether their lifespan is sufficient.

Yeah I saw the federals, they looked tempting

I've been looking at a few
Kumho ku31's and federal 595evo's

About to buy new tires for the 1200, want something that is good for fast street driving.

After 195 50 15s, looking a spending up to $150ea

Just wondering if anyone might have recommendations of a tire that would do the job?
