Just curious who's gotten the most miles off their first set of tires.

14K on rears. They were bald. The next set was half gone at 7K before I got new wheels and tires. Falken lasted about 23K before they were replaced.

I'm at 26K and the backs are not in the best shape but still driveable. The fronts are in really good shape. I bought my car used though so who knows they may have replaced the front tires on it.

i am at 15 and the tire place said i have 4k more mile left at most... I may try and get them to last as long as I can. I want some of the 06 rims and tires so I am hoping my tires last long enough for the 06 to come and the forum to be flooded with people selling their 06 rims but I doubt I will make it that long.

I plan to replace my brakes before I replace my tires just b/c I am sick of the dust

10300. Had them replaced by the dealer yesterday along with a free alignment for feathering reasons. Didn't realize how bad they really were until you get a fresh pair on.

Front tires replaced @ 14K and then again at 9K miles later due to feathering/roar... Rears were bald when removed at 23K.

Now on current setup in sig with about 10K miles and no feathering or roar. Just cross rotated the fronts to try to keeep away the feathering.

Default Replaced tires

Just had the front original tires replaced at 18,000 plus - due to tire noise. I could have gotten another 10 out of them - but there was enough tread left on them that I could get 100% replacement per letter from manufacturer. I thought the tires were quite noisey from the day I drove it home from the dealorship - but thought perhaps just the engine noise! Cant believe how much quieter the new tires are - especially when slowing down to stop! I can actually hear the engiine!!
