I just got Hankook Z211s. We'll see how long a 50 treadwear rating lasts....

 

I never got past 7K for rears on the OEM S02's. Too much right foot and too many clutch drops. Can't say for the AP2's OEM tires yet. but no matter how you stack it my C5 Z06 was way more expensive on tires...

 

I bought my car right after it got a new set of fusion's.

after about 12k, they're slipping on hard acceleration, but still not yet bald.

 

Dang....I feel like a biach, I'm still on my OEM fronts and I'm at 33k miles.... The rears were only replaced because one of the had a gash on the sidewall.

 

This is really dependent on your driving situation and style.

Think about it - those who drive aggressively are going to wear the tires more quickly - why do you think racers have to think about tire wear during a race - the harder they drive, the faster the tires will wear.

Likewise, someone who drives leisurely, but in stop and go traffic will wear the tires sooner than someone who drives mostly on the interstate. Accelerating and braking wear the surface of the tires, so naturally the more you do of it, the sooner your tires will wear.

Tire pressure is another factor, but I'm sure I don't need to explain that.

Same thing with your alignment. Caster/Camber and Toe in/out can effect tire wear as well. From the factory, the s2k's alignment doesn't lend itself to great tire wear, but it sure could be much more aggressive.

Another thing I think determines it (just in my own conceptual visualization) is the amount of downforce the car generates. If you have a splitter/lip/spoiler, I'd say your tires may wear a little faster (though the difference may be trivial) than if you didn't.

I'd also say lift could have effect it as well, as the car wouldn't put as much stress on the tires if there wasn't as much mass dependent on them. So, if you drive over a certain speed, you may get more mileage out of your tires (assuming you're not driving so fast you're asking too much of them).

These are just my thoughts, don't take them as concrete fact.

I just believe these factors are why my dad got 75k miles out of a set of tires on his Explorer that were rated for 50k miles - even then they had fair tread left, but it was a company car that we were purchasing after it reached 80k miles, so my dad went ahead and replaced the tires and expensed them.

 

I bought my car used and the RE050s are on the front. Not sure how many miles are on them, but the wear is on the inside of the tires (from negative camber). I'm wonder if they are the original tires because the car has 44k miles on it (now, after me putting on 3.5k in a 7 weeks, had 41k when I bought it). The tires are cracked between the tread and where the sidewall meets the tread, are looking like they are drying out too. Don't worry - new tires are an xmas present from the parents.

 

I live near the beach (SoCal) and when I drive always travel on coastal and canyon roads. Not an aggressive driver really but, do love the twisty roads and I've got 22k on original tires. They are wearing but by no means shot.

 

falken 615's

have 6k miles on em, rears are pretty much out,

2 track days,

once a week canyon,

I feel like they got a lot harder from heat cycling, I have some meat left on the front, but feel like I should replace all 4 tires

 

i'd figure the OEMs should give 15-20k on the rears with normal driving, and up to 35k for the fronts.

i'm running goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3's myself and i'd say they dont wear out as quick as the OEMs. thats the reason i switched - was looking for a tire with similar performance that didn't go bald quite as fast. real nice wet traction with them (as long as u have tread), and similar dry performance.

the S (like other sports cars) surely isn't cheap on tires.

 

I'm running azenis and I get abount 10 k miles out of the rear tires. 15k. Miles may be possibe with grandma driving. Fronts last about twice as long as the rears.
My mom and aunt has about 70k on their stock tires on there stock accords
