How many miles before these are done? Consider normal driving, with lots of highway. No autocross or drifting. Thanks!

 

With proper rotation you should get 20 to 25k if your on the highway alot and don't really abuse them.

I have 16k on mine and beat the hell out of them. Only rotated them once and still have descent tread left. The fronts are starting to cup slightly though. Had I rotated more often they would be much better off right now.

 

So far...I've got 15,500 and I still have a lot of tread left

 

I saw mitsuorder's Advans last weekend and they had 19k miles on them and still had a good amount of tread left. They were a little bald on the inside shoulders due to the camber of the wheels. Nothing that a little rotation/flipping wouldn't cure though. I'd say they'd definitely make it past 20k and maybe even past 25k, especially if regularly rotated and flipped on occasion.

My stockers were done at about 8k, but that was with a bunch of AutoX, so that doesn't count.

 

i got 16k on mines right now and they're holding up pretty good. I drive mostly on the highway and hardly ride on them hard. I rotated them twice and gonna do a 3rd one later on this week.

 

I'm thinking of selling off my Advans, since I bought all-seasons. I bought the Conti's (thanks again Neal) and they seem pretty damn good for me. I unfortunately don't get to do a lot of aggressive driving, so they seem to suffice.

If so, I'll just leave the Conti's on until they run out.

 

Thats funny. The general consenous of the people who posted seems to be 20-25k, but 58% of the voters say under 15k. wonder why none of them have posted to explain their reasoning?

 

I have just over 15,000 on mine (winter tires are on now). They look almost new until you get close and see where the autocross has taken its toll. But the tread depth is damn near stock and there has been no chunking or other problems...

As for why people post less than 15K and then don't reply is a general symptom of these boards: everyone wants to ***** and moan about how bad the car is (especially the ones who don't even own an Evo)... You'd get the same results if made this a clutch poll, a brake pad poll, a transmission poll... you get the idea.

I highly recommend the A-046s - I only wish Yoko would make them in 245/40/18...

 

Maybe those that voted 15k only has a few thousand miles on their EVO and are assuming that they will only last 15k just as suggested by the manufacturer?

 

To explain my reasoning? Well, maybe because I have 2200 miles on the tires, and they're over half worn?

Of course I did drive the hell out of these tires ... but still

-S ...

EDIT: And no this was not *****ing. I'm used to this kind of wear coming from driving a S2000 hard and seeing new tires every 10k mi

And I've definitely done my share of canon runs and a few empty parking lot skids.

 

Yeah like iodine said, mine have 19,340 on them, the have been rotated every time my car has gone in for oil change as included with the xtreme pit pass, about every 3000 miles, wish I could fix it, iodine, the problem with the camber of the wheels, can it be fixed at the dealership?

 

So I've got about 7000 miles on mine right now. The center tread looks great but the shoulders are worn down quite a bit. Have ya'll been waiting for the center tread to wear down all the way or do you replace the tires when the shoulder tread gots bare?

 

im at 3000 now and just did my first oil change really the inside part of the tire is good but the shoulder has suffered... if i rotate them soon im sure it will be ok considering the rears still look close to new....

 

mitsuorder: The camber is the problem, but you don't want to fix it. The stock spec is -1 degree (or -2 degree). That's going to wear the inside of the tire.

What they need to do is put the tires on the left side onto the right side and vice versa. Since the tires are directional they have to dismount the tires and flip them on the rims in order to do this. I'm guessing when the dealer does your rotations they're just swapping the fronts with the rears, that's a "standard" rotation with directional tires and is much easier than dismount/remount/balance involved in flipping the tires on the rims.

Maybe you could try to get them to do LF->LR, LR->RF, RF->RR, and RR->LF. I think that this is the standard procedure for non-directional tires. But then they'd only have to flip two tires (the original LR and RR).

 

I just got new tires put on today. I got 15,700 out of my stock tires. I did a few fun runs with some evom members, and I usually take corners a little fast when i'm driving around town. I probably could've gotten a few more thousand out of them, but I do a lot of driving and figured I better change them while I have the money to.
