How Often Do You Replace Tires?

For those of you who use your car as DD and don't track to often, how often are you getting new tires?

Smile But it makes pretty white smoke!

Six thousand is good on the rears, depends on the tires, how often you disengage the traction control, and your right foot....

i replaced my Pzeros at around 5k. I have Yok Avid Envigors on the rear and i now have 12k miles. Service B indicated very little wear to these after 7k miles. of course they are all seasons. but my car is only a weekender and never tracked.

Daily driver. My Michelin PS2 lasted in the rear about 7K. The front have 17K and should be good for another 8K.
I replaced the rears with Michelin All Season. The grip is not as good as the PS2 but very close. I have 10K on them and should be good for another 5K.
I don't drive like I stole the car but I do drive aggressive when the opportunity knocks.

Roughly 12K on rears, 20K on fronts.

I should say that I baby the sh*t out of this car tho. No launches, burnouts or track use. Strictly a grocery getter.

stock lasted 8k, while the nexen n3000 lasted 17k. so it was a no brainer getting another set of n3000s. :o Grips pretty good, barely any road noise, and last long.

Please trade your C63 in at your next earliest convenience. Thank you.

Holy cow! Under 10k miles for rear tires? Thats like my NSX's. I don't see nearly as much negative camber... Why are they so bad on tires? Are E63's that bad too?

soft compond + negative camber + torque = tires GONE.

i really dont know how anyone can get over 10k out of rear Pzeros on this car. i bet if i BABIED mine i wouldnt have gotten more that 7k. just a guess.

and im willing to bet the majority of us would be very happy with an all season set up on these. i know i know... its a performace car and we wont get all the advantage of it with all seasons.... but if you are like me and you drive it to dinner on the weekends and ocassionaly some spirited runs for ME all seasons are all i need. like everyone always says... tires are a trade off of cost noise longevity and performance.

Well, my factory Pirelli PZero's last for 7200 miles, or six month. I have since replaced them with Ykohamas, which aren't high performance summer tires, but rather a performance all-season. Yeah, I know what your about to say. But to my defense, I will won't be changing tires every six month either.

so you got 10k out of the kooks with 265's right?

Think you could put 275's and get some more longevity out of it?
