What are you guys getting in miles for your front & rear tires? I know it depends on the tire, road conditions, and how you drive... but just trying to get an idea to see what I can expect.

Thanks.

With Nitto 555R Drag Radials (only went to the track with them once) I can say with confidence around 3500 miles with a decently heavy right foot.


edit: Sorry, I thought I was in the C63 forum lol.

First set of rear tires lasted less than 6,000 miles as I just couldn't keep my foot out it. Way too much fun. Fronts last between 10 & 12K usually.

I'm on my third set of rear PS2's and expect to go maybe 10K on these. I'm a lot more restrained than I was at first and only really run it hard for a kill now.

I'm on my 3rd set of Corsas and my car has 4800 miles on it

1500 miles on rears. I can see the straps showing through I just love to see all that burning rubber go up in smoke. Sport contacts 3's

Anyone can burn through a set of rears, I burn through my fronts too, not quite to the extreme of the rears, but the are still a bubbly, melted, molten mess none-the-less.

I have seen 55 rears last 4,000-24,000 miles and fronts go 8,000-30,000. It all depends on how you drive.

My Nitto 555's lasted right around 24k. Tread life was solid, but grip seriously depreciated...

NXtremeJeep

had metal showing on my conti sport 2's after just 7k miles. Didn't beat on them too bad either.

Did you have any excessively negative or positive camber, from putting on rims, or lowering, etc?

That's not a lot of use you got out of those. Conti's usually go longer than that.

Anyone run Toyo's, Proxes 4 or the T1's? I've got over 10k with the 4's on my W210 and they're still going strong. Of course I don't throw much rubber around.

I am currently running Toyo R888's. Put them on in the spring and they will be officially at the wear indicators by MIR on 11/15 Probably 5k miles on them. Fronts are pretty worn too and will take those off after MIR. Treadwear is rated at 100. Nice and sticky, but a little noisey. Gonna put some all seasons on after MIR until March and go buy another set of Toyos for the summer again They probably would have lasted twice that amount, but been slingin rubber all summer.

I've used PS2's, GS-D3's and Re050's and averaged 5k miles on them on my 55.
I'm convinced the concrete roads here are high friction and reduce tread life much more than asphalt does.

Can't be my driving style!

My stock tires (Conti Sport Contact 3) lasted to about 8,000 miles, then I switched to PS2 which only lasted 4,000 miles.

My CLS may not be a 55, but my Michelin Pilot A/S have lasted 18K miles and going. I should be able to get about 3-4 more out of the rears. 10-15 more out of the fronts.

Damn, some of you guys are really burning through tires!

Andy0331

I've got around 11k on my Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's, with the fronts looking pretty good still & quickly approaching the wear bars on the rears. I like these tires as well as the PS2's they replaced and they seem to have better treadwear qualities as well.

NXtremeJeep

Stock rims and suspension. No lowering mods. Although, I keep it in sport 2, 24/7. I've done about 30 runs at the truck with mini burnouts so I'm sure that didn't help. Time for some Vredsteins.

Coalman

I have PS2's and have less than 2/32 after 7,000 miles on rears, which is average for me and I never smoke the tires. Fronts get around 14,000 miles.
