There are so many variables involved that it is impossible to say how long the OEM tires will last. They last as long as they last. I will mention a note of caution about running tires that pass the dime test: They can be terribly dangerous in the rain.

what is the dime test??

At right around 7,000mi, I'm looking to replace my stock rear Potenzas... That's pretty lame if you ask me... My driving habits are almost exclusively city, no burning out, doughnuts or anything of the sort with occasional racing... Going to replace the rears with GS-D3s
