So i'm about to buy tires for my Coupe now and I have 31K miles on it and still have my original Michelin Pilot sport tires on. I've talked to a bunch of people that say they have changed at least 2 pairs of tires or so by far. So am i just lucky that mine lasted that long or is it normal? also what kind of tires do most of you have and how satisfied are you with them? I'm pretty happy with my Michelins.

i dont drive my car too rough ... i just need something that will last me longer.
Thanks in advance.

 

I too am interested, BTW how much is it to replace theses tires (19")

It might also differ depending on whcih wheel/tire package they have

 

I'm at 25k miles, and it looks like my fronts are only half worn, and rears a little more, which means I might be replacing the rears next year.

 

I have the 18" rims that the car came with. It is an 03 and for that year it seems like they were putting the Michelin Pilot Sport for the sports package coupes. I looked those tires up and with intallation and everything else it is going to come up to about 1200, the 19" are probably a few hundreds more

 

Got a nail in my tire few weeks ago... took it to a tire shop to fix it... they said they legaly couldnt do it due to my tire wear... lucky for me i ordered my volks that day... what sucks the most is that there gonna take freakin forever to get here and i need new tires

 

I have the oem 19's and they are completely bald with only 10000 miles on the car!

 

My rear tires are almost bald at 10000 miles. I was shocked when I realized it. Dont just look at the side tread, its misleading. Now I know why I spun sideways going around a corner - no tread!

 

I have 24k on my OEM 19's and they still have life left. I'd imagine they would last another 4 months or so.

 

Roughly 28K on the Pilots when I swapped them out. I guess I could have squeezed another 5K out of them if I was to swap them side to side, but then winter came and I figured to might as well switch to A/S.

 

I had about 25K when I swapped out the pilots.

 

My coupe came with 17 inch Goodyear Eagles. The rear tires went before the front ones, which was around 22K. I thought that was ridiculous. They were promptly replaced with Toyo Proxes TPT's. Life is good again!

The pilot A/S will last longer than the summer variant; otherwise it depends on how you drive... You can get touring tires which will last longer and are usually cheaper.. its all a trade off between performance and longevity.

But honestly if you put touring tires on with one of those 50k mile ratings, a RWD car like ours will drive like crap.

 

I bought my car used at 25k and they came with Toyo Proxes T1

Being at 31K now the rear looks more worn than the front but they both look pretty new

 

I have to replace at 12k... i don't really drive it that hard. WTF... this is bul$hit

 

13k and mine were BALD.........i drive hard tho
