Wow, that's the kind of mileage I get out of the tires on my beater civic. I tried to get 10k miles out of a set of rears once, didn't even come close. Lots of

and dragon runs though, so I can't complain.

don't be fooled by remaining tread - tires get worse with age even if they're not driven.
so to still use stock 2002 tire sounds like crazy to me.....

They will get harder as the tires age. We will not mount tires that are over 6 years from mfg. date.

Search and watch the ABC 20/20 program on old tires.

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.

32X.6=19,200 miles...
