Before I can give you a recommendation I need to ask some questions.

How many miles do you have on the current tires? How are they wearing? Even across the full face of the tread? Are they wearing on the inside shoulder(negative camber) or on the outside shoulder(positive camber and/or lack of rotation)? How often do have them rotated and rebalanced?

my alignment is right, i have no negative or positive camber...however i cant rotate my wheels cuz im running a staggered wheel fitment. I know it's gonna wear faster because of that, however...it shouldnt be wearing this fast...these tires just wear really quick. then again you get what you pay for.
