if you want a tire that will give you some great wear, go with the Nitto NT555. Decently sticky compound too, and not bad in the rain either. A great all-around tire IMO. Also, use the tirerack site if you haven't already. they have tons of customer reviews. Good luck.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
edit - oh, and the size I had were 245/35/20

well, if your lookinf for performance you really cant beat - bridgestone potenza S-03's I have them on my RX7. Awesome tire, they wear fairly quickly, and they are some $$$ but none the less, awesome tire. BTW i will have nitto 555's on my GS here in about 2 days when i get my rims. ( they were already on )

That's a shock to hear!!! I put around 30K on my set with no problems whatsoever. Did you happen to get factory "seconds" or something?? That just plain sucks.

If i were you, i'd get the goodyear gs-d3 but unfortunately they are on national backorder, so if you find some instock, get those ASAP, or you can go with all season michelin pilot sport a/s, if they come in that size.
