How many miles did you get on your tires? ~Daily driver~

i get about 8-10k with my Impala SS

 

On my first car, an '87 Camaro IROC Z28, I got about 12k miles on the tires. My most recent daily driver, a Ford Escape XLT, I had BFG Mud Terrains which I kept balanced and got about 62k miles out of them, and they still had some meat on them but had gotten really loud.

 

I usually manage around 40k miles on the daily driver. Now I replace them even before the steel threads are poking out. I used to get about 50k miles but risked my life for the last 5k. No more of that!

I had a '95 Toyota Landcruiser. 1st set of tires had 82k miles, the 2nd set had 78k miles. Not bad for a 5,000 lb. vehicle.

 

Just had a new set of tires put on my '01 996TT after 14.5k miles.

 

I got 92,000 out of the first set of tires on my Eagle Talon. It is pretty impressing considering that it has AWD. The tires were Goodyear Eagle RS-A or something like that.
Thae tires were not bald at all, and I was getting near the tread mark. I replaced them because one of them blew op, so I decided to repaced them all.

 

under 10,000, bmw 750iL, Pirelli Pzero Rosso Asymetrico.

 

5k if i am lucky for the Mich Pilot Sport PS2... but guess those few tracks days really chew into them.

 

I'm at 24K on the M3, should get another 10K before they have to go.

Guess I need to drive it harder.

Just remember, tires age as well as wear out. I believe that a large part of the Firestone fiasco was not that the tires were really bad, but rather that the tread lasted too long!

Older, high mileage tires (even with good tread) have aged sidewalls and aged tread compound. You may be taking risks that you're not even aware of. (Fresh tires don't generally blow out... old tires, regardless of the tread depth, do.)

And even without the sidewall issues, a set of 5-6 year old performance tires may well have less grip than new economy tires due to the hardening of the compound...

Sounds about right. Mine could have used them when they had about 10k miles on them, but I procrastinated and finally took care of it when the weather started getting nice this year.

 

with -1.5 camber on the evo and the advans, ~5k will get you down to the chords on the inside 2 inches, then $1000 for new tires, or be a cheap bastard and flip them (like me)

evidentally the way to beat it is to rotate them every 1000 miles. uhh......sure

 

15,000 on the Boxster

18,000 on the XJR

 

I've run soft high performace Z Yokohamas on all 3 of my Japanese sportscars for about 30,000 miles before I needed to replace. And, it's worth it.

 

Nope!

 

14,000 on the Maserati coupe but drove on them to 16,000 michelin PS.
no tread left and slide city.

20,000 on a mercedes C280
25,000 on the CLK320

 

25,000 miles. I had to replace then stock Michelins at 25,000 then Yokohamas again at 50,000.

4 years and 5 thousand kms

 

Usually around 20,000 or so. 35 series BFG's. Now I have Hankooks, so I have no idea how long they'll last since it will be gone in the next 2 months.

 

i drive ALOT and i'm BRUTALLY hard on tires, all my sets have never seen the 10k mark, cords between 7k-9k. now this wouldn't be so bad if i only drove 10k a yr but i average 36k, so i'm changing tires 3-4times a yr. hence why i have a stack in the garage. the only help i've had is by switching between summer/winter tires.
pirelli are the worst in term of life second to them are bridgestone and so for the michelins are the longest. these are my first set of michelins and i'm just passing the 8k mark now and still have 1/2 tread left.
the worst car for tire/brake life has to be my BMW that thing eats these like its going out of style. the Audi is second in line for chewing threw at a good clip, we've had the A8L for 1 1/2yrs and i've been through 4 sets or tires already. but big heavy cars i expect that.

 

60k on my MKIII gti

 

The rears on my S2000 last about 6k miles and the fronts last twice as long.
On my Toyota 4x4 I get about 30-35k out of all four.

 

Less than 10,000 miles on my Viper with a street/track alignment... daily driver.
