My car is about to turn 10k miles and the rear tires need to be replaced. How many miles did you get on the OEM tires? I will get another pair of the OEM tires for the rear this time with the hope that both fronts and rears will need replaced next time. Of course I will be going away from the OEM tires when I replace all four since I think they have low grip. I may just do that this time even though the fronts are still in good shape.

 

Theirs a thread about this somewhere in the website. People have had their OEM tires last for 30K+. My car came with tires that weren't for the S but did well. They have a treadwear rating of 400 so they will last me forever. That and I dont drive my car everyday. Most people say that you will go through 3 pairs of rears before you replace the fronts.

 

Yea, I'd say 10k is about right. S-02s are very high performance (and expensive) tires but have a very low treadwear rating.

When I bought my car, it had 12,900 miles on it and a fairly new set of Yokohama AVS ES100s on the rear, so I would say that the original S-02s probably lasted about 12k miles.

 

Mine lasted about 13K.

 

Replaced mine at about 11.5K. It all depends how aggressively you drive which determines how often you tires are replaced. We have a few in our group that have replaced their rears with under 10K and others at about 25K.

 

One of our members goes through a set of rears (not S-02s tho) every two months or so.

 

Yeah I do. Mine oem lasted for 8k. Now with the RS-2 about 4K. It just depends on how you drive and tire wear. Now I am on my thrid set within the year.

 

i got mine with OEM fronts and EVS 100's on the rear that need replacing asap

 

I bought my current S02's right before the last scenic drive, so August/October...
They are almost too the wear indicators
Apx 4000 miles

 

my OEM fronts are not ones that i bought, they are from '02.
