I'm still running both the Michelin Energy Saver A/S and Pirelli P6 on two different cars. Both have been in use at least two years. The Michelins for over 3 years. Both sets of tires are still wearing very well.
For both cars, I simply went out and bought the cheapest after-market aluminum wheels to match the original wheel size. The original wheels were used for the snow tires. Partly because I don't like steel wheels and wheel covers. Cars are a Mazda 626 ICE and a conversion Honda del Sol (www.evalbum.com/2778).
