23k miles on Stock Potenzas and 4mm left before wear indicator!

xSTIx · 09-26-2006, 08:45 PM

Anyone else experience such good wear from their stock summer tires?

Mykl · 09-26-2006, 09:52 PM

That's crazy talk.

05cgm · 09-26-2006, 10:08 PM

Had 20K on mine until I got a nail in the sidewall on one

. I would say the remaining three in my garage have about 5-10K left in 'em!

WOOOW!!

Mine looked like this after 13K miles, shortly before they were sold:

vandersti · 09-27-2006, 04:28 AM

I am at 23k on mine and are about 3mm away from the first marks. I auto x all summer on these too. I did have a few big trips also, but they are going strong. I like the Potenzas and I already have a second set waiting in the garage. I also have my Blizzaks LM 25s ready to go on for first snow and my R-Comps just came in yesterday. wo0T... I want this winter to come and go fast.

I have 7000 KMS ~4000miles?? and i'm down to 3mm of tread...

5 autocrosses, 1 track day, and furious driving all day long

**lackskill** · 09-27-2006, 11:15 AM

Im over 25k on the stockers, dont know how far I am from the wear marker, but my winter Nokians are sitting in the garage waiting for the install in a few weeks...

Darkiller · 09-27-2006, 11:27 AM

wow it looks like i will be getting new tires after my race in oct 28

and i only have about 7k miles on my car haha i guess i should stop doing canyon runs every weeken .

Peleg · 09-27-2006, 11:29 AM

My tires look like new.

Guess why?

Darkiller · 09-27-2006, 11:31 AM

because they are

mmahan · 09-27-2006, 04:52 PM

Let's see... I put my FIFTH set of 070's on when the odometer read somehere around 30K... so I would have to say... NO, I have not experience that kind of mileage on my tires.

come to think of it, I don't know if I've EVER gotten near 20K miles on a sports car!!! I am assuming that you keep your "spirited driving" to a minimum?

kts262 · 09-27-2006, 05:19 PM

I have about 17.5k on the tires so far, and that includes a full day of auto-x school (50+ runs) and a season of runs (25ish runs) and I still have about 50% of the tread left.

I also have 35k miles on the stock pads and I still have about 5mm on the pads.

I guess I'm not driving the car hard enough.

Now that i am in Texas and dont have Canyons my tires should fare a little better.

As of now i am 2mm from wear markers and have 11k on them

specc · 09-27-2006, 06:04 PM

I have about 22k miles with 3mm left till wear strip. 10k where done at stage 2 and 4 k with my current setup. Not alot of track time but plenty of spirited driving.

I have 24K on mine (just summer driving). I don't do track but I drive pretty aggressively. I was told I have about another 20K left on them from the amount of tread left. Here's one for you. I've got 60K on my car and I still have the original brake pads- it still stops good and I've got a few miles left on them as well.
