Question How long did your stock tires last?

I ask because I have 20,000 miles on my 2006 Z and I feel as if I need to replace them already. Keep in mind, I have never done anything like donuts. Probably spined in place once, power slided once as well and made them squeal after a hard first gear launch a handful of times. Is this normal to have to replace them already. I have never rotated them either, only because I can't. Thank You for reading.

I changed out the rears at 24,000, but I am running stock fronts with ~54,000 right now! Dont follow my lead though, I'm just lazy and I like to slide around on dry pavement!

24,000 on OEM tires.

23,000 on T 1Rs with at least another 5000 of tread left.

With a treadwear rating of 140, don't expect it to last very long. Just get something with a higher treadwear rating.

I replaced the rears on my 06 at 18k. The fronts are about ready for replacing at 25k. I heard a lot of members replace them at 15k.

15,000 Stock potenzas are junk. Low treadware, and not as sticky IMO as other longer lasting tires.
