What are you asking, for a wheel that lasts? or a tire that doesn't get "burned" thru quickly? Our cars are notorious for eating tires, remember, the search is your friend!!!!!

There are tires that last longer but there is a trade-off between razor sharp handling with the OEM's and "not so" razor sharp handling with other tires.

Check the UTQG ratings within each manufacturer to get an idea of how long the tire will last. Each manufacturer sets its own standard do the UTQG doesn't really apply between two different manufacturer.

if you want to have long lasting tire. You will need to have the alignment adjusted to minimal toe and camber.

Kumho 712 last forever but it isn't the best riding tires. give you a hard ride.

Some tires last longer than others. Do a search on previous topics and look in the FAQ.

Reducing the rear toe in the alignment can help; again, look in the FAQ.

Front tires last 2-3 times longer than rear tires. Remember to use the same brand and model of tire on both the front and the rear.

Also realize that you spent a lot of money for a high-performance sports car, and you cannot expect the tires to last as long as on a family car or a luxury car.

The Kumho 712 is not worth buying. Even if you want a cheap long-lasting tire, there are better ones to buy.

Discuss your needs for tires and wheels with an expert like Alex at the Tire Rack, who is familiar with the NSX.

All of these things have been posted here on NSXprime many times before. Do a search...
