Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires treadlife for lowered tours with 17s or 18s

I'm in the market to get some wheels for my car. I was hoping some of you could list the tire, size, performance, and very important is tire life.
Thanks

Treadlife rating is molded into sidewall of tire. Take the first two numbers of the rating,multiply by 15,000 and you will have an approximation of treadlife if you RELIGIOUSLY rotate, balance, and check air pressure. Examples:
200=30000 miles (20 x 15,000)
300=45000 miles (30 x 15,000)
340=50000 miles
370=55000 miles
400=60000 miles
You can expect HALF the rated mileage if you don't maintain the tires.
