But the trade off in treadwear seems worth it.
I need a daily driver tire, that won't heat cycle or whatever. And wont pickup debris.
Any other suggestion for street tire that has long life? I notice the nitto "motivo" has a huge treadwear number. How much worse than a G2 would the traction be...
And also, this is the exact one I'm looking at
NT555 G2:
295/45ZR18 112W XL Treaddepth: 10.2 Diameter inflated: 28.46 Width: 11.65 Rim size:9.5-(10.0)-11.0
Supposed to be 28.46" Tall! Will that fit on the back of my stock suspension S14?

I have Nitto's NT05 285/40/18 on the back of my car and it fit without too much issue. However, I also have IDS coilovers that push the lower mount inboard an inch or more. With a completely stock suspension car I doubt it will fit, at a minimum I would think a set of coilovers would be needed.
