I didnt know there was a crime about asking someone that owned a car before you if he/she ever had a problem with something, before you took to it a dealership or a repair shop or just went to a autopart store and got something....I just want to just drop cash into the car if its something simple and he knows why the car is doing something...Dealership dont catch everything during safety inspection that they perform on a car before they put it out on the lot for sale...My work just leased a 55k semi truck and it came in after the factory performed a safety inspection and it was missing the passenger side seat belt

It's understandable to ask questions but I feel like you think I traded it in cuz it was a piece of **** and that's not even close, I just found the LNf and took it lol

So many Cobalt SS that are for sale on craigslist... almost thinking about picking another one up since they're so cheap to use as a daily driver.
But I think I want a house more.

Problem with treadwear is that it's an arbitrary number that varies from one manufacturer to the next. There's no standard to go by, so a 300 treadwear Federal tire may last twice (or half) as long as a 300 treadwear Bridgestone. From what I've seen the better brand names seem last longer based on the numbers they give. Case in point -
My stock Continentals (can't rememer the treadwear but it was low) lasted 20k miles. The 340 treadwear General Exclaims I replaced them with lasted...20k miles. Now have Potenza RE760s...will let you know in a couple years how well they hold up.
For what it's worth, I've heard a lot of people praise the Federals for how they perform, but just don't expect to get a ton of life out them. If you do, it's an added bonus.
Edit: If you want a good balance between performance and life, look at Continental DWS ties. A full set will run you around 600-700 installed, but they have a 50k warranty. They're all seasons, but sticky enough to have some fun. And you get the added benefits of comfort, quietness, etc.

If anyone is looking to get a set of the Continental DWS let me know I will make a phone call and see what kind of a deal I can get you on them through my work

hmm I'll prolly stick with Ty's advise and get the Falken Ziex's again.They seem to last quite some time and have enough traction for my 255whp lol.Thank you for your help.

Ziex's are good for treadwear. The Hankook V4's are too, and thats what I ran my 12.9 in the sedan on

.so barely any tire spin and they wore out like crazy.Awesome tire but they wear too fast for me.I'm on the Falken Ziex now and for being bald,they still grab pretty decent.I know with full tread they would be good.I just found a sweet ass deal on the Federal 595's but I think they might wear too quickly.Especially cause my front camber is slightly negative.
