How long did your OEM Clutch and Tires last....

Oh, and you can rotate them side to side, so no feathering on the front!

I got about 16k miles on the tires before I changed wheels and tires together.... rears were getting low, but still had some tread on them... I would think I could have hit 20k on the set I had.
I had 120k on the clutch in my bimmer. That was with chirping and lanching in her younger milage
Clutch longevity I believe is determined on how well one can actually drive a manual and of course how much abuse is put on it as well.
Tires have the same story the more fun you have the quicker the tire is gonna go not to mention if you have a soft or hard compound rubber. My tires lasted ~25k miles (kumhos tires) with aggressive driving chipping and sliding

Here's a good explanation of what actually happens to Nissans like mine that causes the road noise: http://www.lasercannon.com/Newz/feathering.htm With this type of wear I think swapping side to side will keep the noise in check. Asymetric wear will still happen on the inside, but I'm more worried about the noise since that is why my front tires had to be changed at 30K, not wear.
few pairs of tires for me already, but clutch still original from the 1st I picked up the car and have been putting 125K miles on it. Still runs and slowly pulling away from the new Accord coupe with intake and exhausts.
