Tire recommendations?

Hey everyone, so the question is what tire brand has the best tread wear on a slammed car?

I'm running Sumitomo HTR ZIII up front and they have serious camber wear for only 2 months of being slammed. I'm also running Nexen N3000 in the rear and it has even wear throughout. My buddy has the same setup as me, but is running a different set of tires. So i'm getting the hunch that it's the tire brand.

For my wheels coming soon i have a set of Nitto Neogen ready for them. Does anyone have any experiences or know of anyone that has had them?

you may want to consider not running so much neg camber up front, but if that is not the what you are looking at doing, so matter what tire you get, if you run a lot of neg camber, it just won't last that long. you may want to consider tires with a reinforced inner portion, like Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas, continental contisportcontact DWS (i think its the one), Nitto Invo, etc. You need to look at the UTCQ or treadwear rating for the tires. i thik the continental is somewhere in the 500 plus whereas the vreds are 280 and invo is like 300, somewhere in that neighborhood. Tire reack is a good place to get side by side comparisons.

You want them to last longer, don't run so much neg camber. if your front tires are directional only, which i think those sumitomos are, you could flip them outside to inside but most tire places probably will not do it if you have visible significant wear on the inner portion.
