I wouldn't buy them. They don't last. This is the 4 millionth thread on these tires. Do a search. To put these tires on an I30 would be sacrilege.

Yes. I read that 50/55 are only 30K miles. But 60/65 are 60K miles.

You should read the write-ups in the Tires and Wheels forum.

I have them on my car right now and am very happy with them. My last 2 sets were Yoko AVS ES100s and I got 13k and 16k out of them. So far I have 15k on my Falkens and still have plenty of tread left. I don't know what I will buy next time but the Falkens will definitely be on the list.

enjoy, for you:

i have them on my car as well ( up front ). On a 5spd , they don't last but offer good traction when its dry. I think they are still better than my Dunlop A2s, those dont last at ALL

Buddy had them on his AWD DSM. He loved them, but tread life wasn't great and don't put off changing over to winter tires if applicable.

I have them on my car. Have about 10K on them. I love them good traction and I still have plenty of tread left. Hoping these will last till 60K.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been moved yet.
Anyways, read the 512 sticky in the Tires and Wheels forum and then read the rest:

They are ok. Not the best tires, but certainly not the worst.

I second that about the A2's, they suck!! I couldn't get but 30k out of them. Went with Bridgestone G009's this time. The sidewall is a little on the soft side, but wears very good. Quiet also.

The squirmiest tire I've ever had.

The max felt like it was riding on baloon tires ready for the sand dunes. Do yourself a favor, get something else.
