I'm just curious what the average lifespan of stock tires is for the Z. I don't do burnouts or race too often, but I do plan on taking the Z to the track 3-4 times a year. Just wanna get a ballpark estimate for how long I should keep these tires before replacing them. Thanks guys, and I apologize in advance if this has been covered already. I did search and didn't come up with anything productive.

 

I used my stock tires for 18k and I dont even track, race or burnout.

 

i used mine till about 30k

 

Rears too? No F'ing way. Either that they were as bald as a beach ball.

 

30k is pretty excessive. My rears were changed at 19,xxx miles according to the previous owner's records.

 

my rears are about to go, fronts are maybe 30/40% tread....im at 13k right now.....no tracking here.....

 

Wow, the Z burns lots of rubber huh... Any chance you can also tell me about how much will I be looking at when replacing tires? I'm guessing the stockers are pretty high quality to begin with so they're probably not cheap.

 

Some members get 10,000 miles. Others 30,000. Tires should be replaced when the wear band shows. For safety, I recommend replacing tires before you can see the wear band.

EDIT: AS members have mentioned, most likely you will be replacing rear tires more often than front.

 

Thank you for the advice. I'll be definitely on the lookout for my tread wear.

 

I wouldnt get the same stock tires again if I were you. I got the BFG KWD2 to replace my stock. Its actually less expensive than stock and it supposed to have a better tread life and also perform better than stock especially in the wet surface.

 

24,000 on OEM tires with some tread left.

Looks like my current Toyo T 1Rs will get at least 24,000.

No track time or burnouts on either set.

Replacing tires will cost you $800 to a grand for good tires. Also suggest getting an alignment when you replace tires.

 

yes rears i kid u not. yes they were as bald as my baby brothers ***

 

yup.... 19k (no burnouts or track time)is about average for the oem bridgestones. i replaced the rears at about 16k and there was still plenty of tread for another 3k miles.

 

Just replaced my stocks @31K. Still gripped good on dry. Went to Toyo's T1Rs.

 

ha mine were gone in a week

 

16k for the rears for me but the fronts are still strong around 50 tread life

 

Mine were gone in two weeks. They were such crap I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
