I have 22k on my originals, and not to the wear bars yet. Long slow commute, no street abuse, and one autox event. It seemed fine in the last rain, but I do not push it at all when it is damp or cold.

Just purchased a new set of rears with 11,700 miles on the OEM's. These will be put on before my Track Time event in July.

I plan do due some serious burnouts just prior to the swap (I have yet to lay any serious patches).

36.8K 1 year old, 2.5 sets of tires, I went through the originals, replaced both rears with S02 PP's, then I recently purchased all four OEM Pole Positions.

i want a recount...of my own.... I dug out my original tires/wheels because my Volk combo is BALD...like totall Bald... (so to make it worse, I did a nice big donut right in front of my house again, which makes my son do this --- )

Anyway... my original tires have about 1/3 the tread left... so i guess they will stay on until after i run Summit on 6/22/01.

then, i can blow another $400 for 2 rear 17" tires.

Just passed 8k miles, and my rears are maybe 60-75% gone. Fronts still okay. That's with an Evolution School event and 2 autocrosses. My Kumho's got here yesterday .

13,000 (almost) miles and one set of front and rear OEM tires. The fronts can probably go another 13,000 but I'd have to swap left to right so I just took them off and replaced with Dunlop SP8000s. Depending on how things go with pricing/availability/wear I may next time just get rear OEMs and use the fronts again. I did not want to have two different types of tires on the car though.
