Default Most miles on AP2 OEM tires?

I was just curious how far everyone else got on their stock AP2 tires (it's early and I forget the name of the tire). My S is my daily driver and sees lots of highway miles, with some spirited driving here and there. I'm at nearly 20,000 right now and there is still enough tread left to feel safe in modest rain. I guess I'm driving too carefully.

I'm at 10K and they look fine but I'm trying to find a tread gauge...No luck at Kragen or Honda Dealer...

18K and even wear on all tires. Getting kind of work but still OK in the wet -- not driving it much this time of year, though.

I'm glad to hear this. Mine only has 900 miles on it so far but I got curious the other day and checked prices for RE050's.. So the longer they last the better.

Are you guys flipping your tires to make them last longer?

My rears only made it 18,000 but I am currently at 28,100 on my original fronts. They aren't long for the world though...probably by 30,000 I'll be replacing them.

My rears made it to 10K , I might get another 1K out of them. And yes I swapped them to maximize my mileage.

16,600 to date, mixed driving. Rears have a little tread left, fronts have less than half.
