was just wondering, seen some searches on tire life. but i was wondering was is the most most mileage you were able to get out of oem tires for ap2's. whether it be stock height or lowered. mine is lowered and i have about 4/32 on the rear and about 6/32 up front. i do drive my car aggressively when i do drive it. no auto crossing. i have about 15,500 mi on my car. had it since new. lowered the vehicle at about 6 months after i bought the car. on tein flex's with cr alignment. i did flip the rear tires left to right because of camber/toe wear. so the rears are pretty even wear. tires would definetly be gone if i did not flip them.

just wondering whats the avg miles people are getting stock height or lowered. with oem tires. 215/45/17 front , and 245/40/17 rear. any info on this will be greatly appreciated.

 

I got over 25k on my oem 050 bridgestones before I sold them. Front had more tire life, too. This was stock height and oem alignment.

 

Ap1 or Ap2 are about the same but AP1 should wear faster since they are more tail happy. I got 20,000 miles out of my factory rear tires and they were toast...no tread left on the inner 50% of the tire!

 

I got about 14-15K miles out of my 07 AP2 OEM tires in the rear. The fronts lasted a bit longer. I also got the same mileage out of the rears of my Falken Azenis RT-615s.

 

I bought the S with 7k miles, now has a little over 40k. The tires might have been the original ones, I'm not sure.

 

thanks for the replies. i guess i should be happy since my tire still have some meat on them especially being lowered and with cr alignment. i did flip the rear tires though. doing 180 u-turn tail slides don't help either

 

shit I didn't know you can flip the rears left and right!?

 

Dam my CR tires lasted 16k for the rears and fronts are still good. But these tires are very sticky so they wear faster.

 

would this be ok on the car, for an even wear? cuz i have - camber on mine too

 

You probably know this, but most tire brands for this car are directional, so if you swap the fronts or the rears you have to take them off the wheels and remount them.
