I was wondering how many miles you could possibly get from the OEM tires. I know its pretty much the driving conditions you are in but on average. can anyone give me a number? i have around 18K on my G. thanks

 

im at 21k and it seems like i can get to 30k...

 

I had about 15K on my 17" Goodyears before I swapped them out for my 19" Falkens. Although they appear to have plenty of tread left, they are slick on cold roads and downright dangerous on wet roads.
Of course, I could slow down a little too.

 

I made it to 25K before I had to replace them. At that point the fronts could have gone more but the rears were definitely all used up.

 

Just changed out my 18" Potenzas at 22k, they had 3/32nds left on the rears and 5/32nds on the fronts. I was down to the wear bars in the back so definately time to change 'em.

 

My first set of Potenzas lasted 9.8k, the second set lasted 9.2k. The back tires still had some tread left, but the edges of both fronts were gone; guess I corner fast...

Still, I got a killer deal on the second set ($500), so no big deal. Am sincerely hoping the Eagles last longer tho.

 

My first set also last me around 10K miles. Fronts were still good, but the rears were completely gone. hahaha

And I just happened to picked up my 20s back then... lol What a coincidence?

 

I'm at 22k now, thinking I can go till 30k.

 

As you can see, it can vary, as you noted, from driver to driver. I replaced my OEM rears around 12k, only because I went to the track a few times. I still have the OEM fronts. I currently just under 29k miles. However, I have since upgraded my wheels and tires. The OEM Potenza’s carry a lower tread rating of 140AA (which is a soft tire), when compared to ContiSports, Michelin, Good Years, etc. that range from 220 to 280+. The handling is fantastic, but the life expectancy is on the low end (again, depending on how you drive).

 

potenza re050A's or pilot sport ps2's....probably going with the michelins next time around

 

At 20K the Goodyears look like they have a couple of months' wear left in them - but I will definitely replace them in November. Unlike Aeson, I thought they were pretty good in wet conditions though I don't push the G very hard then. I am also looking at suggestions for good all season tires for moderately cold/wet weather for the X in the stock 17" rim size - or be convinced to upgrade to a larger rim size

 

The Falken 912s get decent reviews for a performance All-season
