Default New Record?

I still have my original tires that my car came with from the dealer. My car has 33, 800 kms on it too, and Im still driving it. Has anyone else put this many kilometers onto their sets of tires? I think its a record from what I read often. I have been to the track too. Ask the Ontario guys, Im not a granny driver . Who else has put 30+ kms on their sets of tires?

Nope, sorry. Some people have put 30k miles on their stockers. Of course, people have also wrecked their cars by trying to squeeze the last penny out of them and crashing in the rain....

I had almost 30k miles on the stock tires until the rear was cut by road debree. The rears were almost bald but the front had plenty of meat left.

That's about 21K miles. Probably time to change your rears. Pretty normal for an AP2 unless you have a radical alignment, regularly autocross, or tons mountain road driving. You're a flat lander. You should get that kind of distance out of the tires. Don't let them get down to the wear bars in the rear. You are really pushing your luck if you do.

That's scary. My original 2002 tires were done in 2006 at only 18,000 miles.
