Sup guys, I'm looking for your experience with low profile tire longevity and performance etc, so I've had kumho spt's its was @ 95% treadlife when I got them 35 series front and 30's in the back, I've used them for 8 months now, rears have worn out due to negative camber that didn't bother me, being in the tuning scene its to be expected. What did bother me was the amount of bubbles I saw on the inner side walls, now I've been very carefull driving around, I've hit some potholes but nothing that made me pull over to check my wheels. What bout you guys? I would appreciate your inputs about low profile tires that you've had, with this I'm never getting kumhos again. Mad bubbles on the sidewall after only 8 months cmon.

The Michelins PS2 A/S were the best looking and performing tire but also wore out the fastest. They were also the most expensive.
The General UHP were the worst looking sidewall but lasted the longest. They were also the least expensive.
The Continental DWS looked good from a sidewall perspective, didn't like the tread design, and also had pretty bad handling over the Generals which were cheaper.
Overall if you have the money get the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season. They look good, have amazing grip, strong sidewall for hard turning, etc.

I've had experience with 3 brands so far: Generals, Continental, and Michelin.
The Michelins PS2 A/S were the best looking and performing tire but also wore out the fastest. They were also the most expensive.
