[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 15969934, member: 46336"] You didn't really disclose what you're looking for the tire to do/be. You can go a bunch of different ways. Do you want tread life the most, or grip? And if it's grip, is this lateral grip (turning, more apt for street driving), or forward grip (drag radial). Also, at 2-3 years of time with 2-3k miles, it's obvious you drive the car seldom. So more for fun/performance rather than going to work and back. If you threw a tire that manages 20k miles on it, after about 4-5 years of mostly sitting and 5k miles of driving, it'll be hard/flat spot and separate anyway. My suggestion is stick with a sticky performance oriented tire that gets 5-10k miles and be prepared to replace them every 3 years. Since you barely drive the car. No tire, ever, is going to last 5+ years of light driving. Not without separating and getting hard as a rock anyway. [/QUOTE]
