Thumbs down Tire Poll... how long do your tires last ???

How long do your tires last ?

It would be very helpful if everyone posted the brand of tire with how many miles they get from a set.

EXAMPLE: Pzero rosso, miles: 30k front tires, 24k rears.
rears were shot and the fronts still had 2k-4k left.

First set of OEM lasted 18K. Have 10K on the second set and they're down to the wear bars. Fronts have 32K on them and have a lot of life left.

What is the thumbs down for?

You got 30k and 24k out of a set of performance tires? You must not drive your car very hard, I bet you also average 20+ MPG.

I am getting 5 to 6K out of PS2's 5K out of RE050's on the SL65 and about 500 out of a set of Corsa's including driving to and from the track day in the Black Series.

Performance tires wear fast when pushed!
