How many miles can you expect from OEM tires?
I have an 08 Touring and was wondering how many miles I can expect with a daily driver. No racing, well not much.
I checked the thread but didn't find anything specific.
Thanks in advance.

i blew a sidewall from these wonderful OKC roads on my front's but my rears lasted 25k and i drove pretty agressively. Conservatively i could see with good alignment breaking 30k.

I got to like 12k, and at that point the tires were completely worn and had some metal treads showing (stupid to let it get that bad, I know). One of the tires even developed a leak the day my new tires were getting installed. I had to put the damn spare on to drive 2 miles to the damn tire place. Gotta drive it like you stole it (in a legal auto-x environment of course)!

18K on my OEM tires with 1 track day (big mistake btw) and I'm just above the wear bars on the rears. The fronts actually have a healthy amount of tread. I guess sliding around doesn't help...but they are pretty much average in terms of wear.

Fronts replaced at 18K because of negative camber wear; if not for that, I should have been able to pull at least another 5K out of them. I have 25K on the car now and the rears are slicks. I do very light driving; get on it out on the highway at times, but I've never roasted the tires once.
I bought a new set of wheels/tires at 24K so I didn't bother to put new tires on the rear stockers yet.
