Need Help What Tires Should I Get?

I'm in the middle of buying new tires what should I get I curently have

Khumo Ecsta712 225 40 Z18
I know I can get these for $76 each with shipping at Tire Rack

I only had them for about 1yr and 4months is that good tread life or I'm I early I put about 25K on them and there due.
I drive kind of hard I did a couple of burnouts.

But now I'm looking for a reasonably priced street race tire
My price range is from $70 to $100 each I'm getting D Radials for the track so I just need something thats going to last and give me moderate perfomance and cornering..

My mind is set on Khumos for now... WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK !!! j/k

I would say 25K out of a set of tires is pathetic and anyone who would consider buying the same tires again should give their head a real good shake.

I'm going to get 65K out of my OEM Goodyear Eagle RSAs that everyone flames, but at least they hold up.

I'm going to 18" rims soon and wrapping them with Toyo Proxes. On my stock SE five spokes I have a set of Goodyear RSA's, and I have to say they are wearing like iron. I'm not a big fan of the way overpriced Goodyears, but they do hold up.

It depends on what you want out of your tires. For extreme performance and grip your not gonna get more than 25K miles. For a basic all season peformance tire you can get 40K+ miles easily. If your putting down alot of power then you don't have much of a choice if you want to use that power

Kumho ECSTA MX Max Performance 225/40R18 They seem to be on top overall what I liked about them is they dominated the wet which in florida it rains alot and I did a 360* in the wet with the 712 at 70mph.


Here are the results I'm preteh sure you guys have already seen this







So what advice can you give me obviously I drive hard I have alot of power in my car.. I average 25k to 30k I don't drive my car much but when I do I need them to perform uhh "Street Race"

For Drag I'm going wih Hoosier 17320 P225/50R16
