At the photolab where I worked for many years one of our good customers was Dayton Tire, here in Oklahoma City. They were a customer of my computer graphics department and added directly to my paycheck. So I figured I would use their Daytona brand of tires. They had the right size and they were pretty cheap. The traction was scary in the rain, and they would wear out in 25,000 miles or less. I wish Michelin or Pirelli made tires in my size for the EL Camino. I may have to break down and get 16 inch wheels to get some really good tires. Now that the BF Goodrich tires are $200 each there is no reason to stick with them.

After 28 years and 310,000 miles plus put on the Elky I have gone through a lot of tires. Dry rot sure is not an issue. The level of tires in the 15 inch wheel sizes for it are always the bottom level of tires. I don't think I have ever gone more than 30,000 miles on a set. The tires wear at a nice even way. It is not a bad wear problem, just not great tires.

The rear tires wear fast due to the limited slip rear end. On smooth dry concrete or asphalt I can hear them protest in a tight turn. If I give it much gas they will chirp. The fronts were evenly, and the set wears out all at the same point.
