Highest Miles driven off Stock Tires?!?

Sorry, I searched and didn't see any thread on this. I was curious who has the highest miles driven record on stock tires before they had to change it. BELIEVE it or NOT, i just hit 30,000 miles on mines! (Flame on )

I finally changed them though this past weekend to my winter set up and will mount new rubbers onto them for next summer. Just in time for the snow! I'll try and post pics up later, the tires look crazy kids!!! I won't try that again!!

^^Yeah, I've read most ppl last 12-15k average, so I'm curious to see who has the highest record, maybe it's me now!!!! I brought the beast brand new with 81 miles (ya, lame), and had it for about 2.5 years now.

Man I was easy on my car and I still only got about 12-13k out of the stockers... I did use them through one winter though and I'm sure that didn't help with longevity.

i cant believe you guys getting so many miles out of them. mine only made it to 7000 because the insides wore out so quickly and that was way before starting to autocross and really beating on the car

22K out of my A046s.

OT: I've gotten just under 40K out of my RE-01Rs, though. Couple of tips for longevity: bump your pressures a couple of PSI and after about 20K or 30K, mount them inside out on the other side of the car.

Of course, rotate them every 3K and take it really easy when driving/turning. Most of the time.

I was the same high 20k. It seemed that they went a lot faster than that though. I too had just had them aligned and bought a 5 year alignment package when I first bought the car and I still had the infamous inner camber wear. Those tires are notorious for it I guess.

33k on the A046, 35k on the set of Bridgestone's I have on right now. Still have another 2 or 3k before I change them. Getting the car aligned and rotating every oil change (3k) has helped.

You ain't kiddin'. I got ~7.5K miles out of my Advans, all-street, rotated every oil change, aligned right after taking delivery. Love the tires, though.

Stock suspension will add years to your tires!
