You must be at the track every weekend. Nice seeing you at ACS couple weeks ago by the way. Saw you autoxing on Sat (8/13) in your CR.

I was averaging a set of tires every 2 months for a while...
but theses RE-11 are seriously lasting forever. I'm just about to hit the wear bear. If my car is driving okay, I'll probably finish em this weekend. You must be at the track every weekend. Nice seeing you at ACS couple weeks ago by the way. Saw you autoxing on Sat (8/13) in your CR.

You'll be fine. It's bad practice, but people do it all the time. Just be smart about driving and you'll be a-o-k.
I'll hold off on the Star Specs and wait for a rebate promotion that should come soon

that's what i'll be doing.. running another set of rear re070s next summer (i'm at 6k, and i'm pretty close to cooking the rears.. fronts look ok still).. so rather than mismatch, i'm going to run another set of rears.. figure i'll end up cooking them right around the same time i am done with the fronts.. that's what i did when i ran Re050s on my old ap2.

Curious to hear how much life (mileage) CR owners here are getting from OEM Tires (Potenza RE070)? Let's assume no tracking/or autocross events. Please share your experience on both front and rear tires, recognizing that fronts will outlast the rear.
Thanks for the feedback.

I got 25k miles on the rears and 40k miles on the fronts of my original sets. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rear sets have lasted around 10k miles each, but I'm still on my second set for the fronts with about 20k miles.

I had similar numbers as crackermaker. My OEM rears lasted about ~20k and fronts would have lasted longer, but I change all the tires at the same time. Onto my 3rd set of tires at 45k.

Totally unrelated, but Discount Tire has a great price on the RE070's. The 225/45ZR 17's are priced even better than Tire Rack! Tire Racks price=235/ea , Discount Tire= 215/ea. They can get the 255/40ZR 17's at the same price as Tire Rack, $277/ea. I just ordered some myself and thought I would pass this along.
