I ran 912's once and I'm on my 3rd set of 452's.

The 452's cup like crazy, every single one I've had. But I'm beginning to think it happens to all tires you run on the 6GA if you have enough camber (in the -3's and more). Then again, I don't rotate my tires or flip them so they last for about a year.

I want to try Neo Gen's or Hankook V12's next.

Dude just go to your local American Tires/Discount tires since your in cali. They do price matching easily.

I'm sure you can get $480ish with tires installed and balanced.

So v12s suck. 452s loud. And my friend said 912s stretch is wack. Decisions decisions..

I like my Hankook v.4's. The Bridgestone Potenza RE960's were good but I only got about 30-35k out of them.


Just call the guys at Discounttire and talk to them, they are very knowledgeable and give you good feedback.

Where rusted out cars don't exist
I ran these on my Accord for about 2.5 years. I bought 3 sets of these tires and each set only lasted me 23k miles or so average. That's including rotating them every 5k miles. Never flipped them though since they're not symmetrical. If I would have done that, they probably would have lasted me longer.

And yes, I drive a shit ton.
