At this point I only have about 2300 miles on my S2K.
I realize that the answer to my question is dependent upon the type of driving I do, which could probably be decribed as moderate.

What's been your experience?

 

Seems like people who drive moderately are able to get around 15k out of the rears.

 

Make that expect, not extect.

 

never spun the rears, don't abuse the car in any way.

got 10000 out of rears, they were shot...

 

I have almost 14K on the rears and I drive pretty easy for the most part. I still have some tread left, but I'm sure to be at the back of the pack in Asheville

 

Got over 14k with lots of hard driving (vtecing, top-ending, etc.) and still plenty of tread.

 

10,000 to 15,000...that's all?!?

 

With performance comes a price. My motorcycles are much worse.

The road conditions also play a large part in how long the last, as well as how you drive.

I am at 16700, and I think I can easily hit 19k - 20k before replacing the rears...The fronts seem to be as good as new...

All of my 16K+ driving has been on street or highway...no track time....

I definitely plan to hit the a track or two this summer, probably with some new slicks...

The SO2's are what are called "stickies" what a ride. Even under the mildest driving don't expect more the 15K. If you drive a lot of twisties or track time that can be reduced to 5K very quickly. Considering I was changing tires on my sportbike every 500 miles (Angeles Forest Highway ) I think 5K is great!!
