I got 24k out of my Goodyear GS-D3's....but the last 8k miles the rubber really got dry (hard) - no traction at all! Great tire, though! Did a couple auto-x & a 4-day weekend at the Dragon and still lasted quite a few miles. Sidewall was a little soft, but great wet traction. I just switched out to Michelin PS2's this time around to try 'em out. Have about 500 miles on them - sidewall is a little stiffer for better steering response & the traction & dry grip is killer sweet Still like the aggressive look of the Goodyear tread pattern

I got almost 30,000 on my Toyo T-1Ss. Just got T-1Rs in January and love them.

I'm at ~24.5K and still on the stock rears. I'm guessing that I'll need to change them by 30K. My fronts got replaced because of the infamous feathering prob so they're still pretty new.

34k mostly highway on the stock Potenza's and was told (and I noticed myself) that it's time for a new pair of rear tires. Front are still good. New tires in a week or two for me.

If you want some good assl-seasons that perform excellent in the dry weather and get great wear that should get you well over 20K.

I also have the Nitto NT555s and have over 24,000 miles on them. Still have a ways to go. Just normal driving with the occasional burn out at the drag strip.

To get good life out of the tires, at what miles do you guys rotate the tires? ( by rotate I mean, dismount then remount and balance,align)

Rotation will cost about $120. If the tires are wearing evenly, I think that the cost outweighs the benefits.

With negative cambers, I dont expect the tires to wear evenly, at some point I will have to rotate to compensate for uneven wear. Right?

Thinking about buying BFG KDW2s from tire rack in a year.
Those are the tires that the srt4 has from factory. I was told by a friend that has one they dont grip very well. They sure are pretty, though. I like the thread on them. Sort of like rain drops.
