I just took off my stocks at 20k, they probably have 3k to 5k left in the dry but with the rain coming, I needed some tread that was not so close to the wear bars.

You can push the OEM tires to 24,000 miles plus, but for safety, I would not advise it.

When I bought my car they forced me into buying a road hazard warranty. (I refused buy since I wasn't financing with the dealership the finance guy wouldn't make any money on the sale they dropped the price of the car $200 and sold me the warranty for $200 w/o telling me).

The car had 7k miles when I bought it and 1000 miles later I ran over something and tore up my front right tire. Using the warranty they replaced that tire with a new one. Then about 8k miles later my front left tire got a nail in it that couldn't be patched so they replaced that tire.

So now I am running my rears that have 17k miles on them, my front left has about 1k miles on it, and my front right has about 9k miles on it. I don't peal out or anything and check the tread on the rears a lot and they seem to be doing ok. Not sure what tires usually wear out first but I really didn't think my rears would last this long but I think I can make it past 20k pretty easily.

Around 14,000 on OEM tires. They're like racing slicks now. They should have been replaced around 11,000 probably, but I wanted to wait until I could get new rims/tires. Not expecting to get more than 12,000 out of my new tires.

could've gotten 35+ on my stocks, but my stupid fronts had to get bald on the inside online due to alignment issues. stupid alignment. im on my new front sets of falken azenis st-115 and still on my stock rears. rears still have about a good 5-10k on them

I got 28 and a half on my stockers (Rears). The fronts I think were replaced right before I bought the car (at 16K). Because the tread on them looks like new.

They are excellent, however like you said, pricey. Now that those ran out i switched to REO50 A's and they are just as grippy except in lateral G's and wet weather (which i found out this morning).
