Help for 22" Tires

Aloha folks. I've been frustrated with not being able to find decent (if any) tires for my 2015 PTT 22" wheels other than I'm currently running Pirelli PZero Nero GT 255/30-22 (front) and 315/25R-22 (rear). My last pair of fronts only lasted 6,681 miles and less than 10,000 miles the previous replacement, equal wear on both sides, so manufacturing issue unlikely. I do not drive anything other than regular street driving, never been on a road course circuit or anything similar, just regular street driving. My rear tires lasted 15,010 miles. I need to find longer wearing tires than these Pirelli tires. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks

Following. I run the same tires in the following sizes:
265/30/22 front
315/25/22 rear

I believe the PZero Nero GT’s are no longer made so wondering what to move to once needed? Not a big fan of Pirelli as seem to wear much faster than Michelins. My winter and all-season set-ups are both Michelins on 20’s.

Thanks for the information. I've checked out the Michelins @ $478/tire (255/30/22), specs indicate 30,000 mile warranty. My last Pirelli @ $287/tire, less than 10,000 actual miles. No brainer on Michelins! Problem is can't find replacements for rear (315/25/22)...any ideas?

Thanks again. The Lionheart has the correct size (315/25/22), $290/tire but I cant find estimate on wear. The Toyo closest size is (295/25/22) and 25,000-35,000 mile warranty, $200 less than Pirelli PZ4 which is $495 and actual wear of 13,000.

I think for the 315/25/22 size we are pretty much stuck with Pirelli. Lionheart is Chinese-made so no idea of quality. I run my 22’s only in the summer (May-September) here in Vancouver, BC so I still have lots of tread life. Must be tough living in perpetual summer in Hawaii!

One of the paradise taxes! Thanks for all the information.

Hey @hawaiiipanamera! Just came across Lexani LX-TWENTY. 30 000 mile “limited” mileage warranty. Suspect limited will have plenty of “outs” but might be something to look into. Right sizes for 22” set-up.

Here’s the link:
