W/W Tires for Long Trip

[SANTA Ray]

I am planning a driving trip from Georgia to Alaska . I plan to take six new mounted tires four on the ground and two side mounts.

Now the $64 dollar question, what brand white wall will wear the best. I figure we will travel about 11,000 miles in all. Currently I get about 12/15K on Goodyears. Has anyone had experience with long haul travels?

FYI - This will be a 2011 summer trip over about an eight week duration. I am aware of the inflation factor 35 psi and alignment. Currently I get even wear they wear out evenly . I will be driving a 31 stock coupe.

Actually, that is about a $164 dollar a piece question there Ray!!

If you are going to use stock 19" rubber, my recommendation would be the Goodyear. In reality, your trip isn't really 11k miles long, ....but more about one and a half months of 250 mile daily trips. They will do fine, ...and maybe an extra inner tube or two for "good luck".
