I'm at about 15k with 3-4 autocrosses on them and they look like they have a little life left in them. Probably going to replace them come summer time.

I'm at 12000 miles and have 10% left...fronts wore faster than the rears and I have no feathering or uneven wear at all...All my driving is mountian roads and I have never done a burnout.

i Personally check my % by eye balling and/ or putting a penny in the threads and see what part of the penny its up to. Of course I marked the penny when i first bought the car and so I know what the new tire threads were at in respects to the penny.
