17,000 miles.
1 set OEM 99% gone.
1 set OEM 50% used up.
1 set Kumho 712's slick in 3000 miles.
1 set Kumho V700's corded all four.
1 set Kumho V700's w/80% life left.
Damn that's a lot of money spent on tires!

Current miles = 18500
Still running on OEM's...
I can probably run the rears to 20000 - 21000, at least.
The fronts are 70 - 75 % new...
Just ordered PP SO2's to replace the rears. I want to get as much out of the OEM's as possible.

Charlie - it is people like you who need to start spending more $ on tires to keep the economy strong. 
That is my reasoning anyway....

[B]OK with 16k on my oem tires and still 2k left in them, am I doing something right or wrong? Perhaps Scot can give me some lessons on driving. Oh I have only one autox on them.
