At 19,000 miles I have 4mm of tread on the rears and 5mm on the fronts of my OEM tires. Mainly highway miles although I have broken the rear end loose a few times. The roads around here are mainly asphalt (easy on tires).

Dive my 04 2 miles to work and 95% of trips are under 5 miles. I am at 20K miles now and replaced the rearsat 13K and fronts @ 17K.

I likely could have squeaked a few more from the front, but they were getting worn on the insides.

Only way to get 20K or more is all freeway.

PS- never done a burnout or any crazy driving either.

I'm at 30k plus for the OEM fronts but the rears have been replaced twice (@10k and 29k)....both due to blow outs

My "best" is 9k rears, 17k fronts. No burnouts, no track days, but I do toss the car around quite a bit. And the only tires I've used are the original Bridgestone S02s and Michelin PS2s, so they're soft tires to begin with.

Stacey is at 11,5XX miles right now w/ the factory tires. I'm sure that since I hardly drive this beauty, they'll last quite some time.

the original S02's lasted to 19K on the rears but they were bald.

I consider myself lucky if I get 4K-5K miles out of a set of rear tires... and maybe 8k-10k out of fronts. I run RE050A PP's.

I buy tires once a year. Of course this is due to autox, track, and dragons. You may say I waste my tires...but to me it's a waste to have an s2000 and not use your tires.

I agree. My tires are by no means "wasted". I can bank on going through half of my rears while I'm at the dragon. I put about 20K miles a year on the S, so I usually go through 4-5 sets of rears and 2-3 sets of fronts. It gets expensive when the rubber costs as much as the RE050A PP's do!
