Need cheap/ long wear tires

2005 C55.

I'm going to start as an outside sales rep so need tires that are either cheap and retain performance or have longer wear.

Yokohama S. Drives are like $130/ front and $150 rear at tirerack. I'm worried though since they're listed as 'ultra performance' and the concern is the car will burn throught them too fast.

I'd like to keep the 92Y rating also. Cheers!

Check out the Hankook ventus V12 evo. I purchased all 4 from a local tire dealer for $650 out-the-door.

They have decent performance, quite, smooth ride and came highly touted for their longer wear.

Unfortunately, with the staggered set up on our cars, long-life is a relative term.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
Falkin 615's-or go with Yoko YK520-not as high performance-but you're asking for the perfect tire in this thread
