How many miles your first set of tires last?

[Dmscott77]

I just had a rear tire start to leak. When I stopped and had them look at it at a tire shop I had threads showing at inside or rear tires.
I only have 5500 miles on the car. The fronts are 50 percent.

Hopefully not many - can't wait to replace these things with some Cup 2's.

Stock alignment is often way off on these cars, so if you do not get it done after purchase they will tend to ride sketchy and eat tires.

3500

How often do you shave the tires?

Swapped mine out at 1700 miles and they were at half tread. However, that was after 4 days of auto-x including a couple fun full on drift laps.

mine are 15.500 kms with some Nordschleife and two track days on small tracks.
front exterior is now slick due to lack of camber and excessive roll in corners (top mounts and front adjustable anti roll are planned), central thread has around 2,5 mm left total
alignment was done after 1000 kms (recommended even earlier) but was ok
I run tyres with always at least 2,8 => 3,0 bars on the road => 2,8 hot on every track I go to

Mine lasted around 16k miles, daily driving, one HPDE, and many many canyon runs. Rears were literally to the wires though so definitely would not expect them to last that long.

Fwiw this is 3500 miles

@Rocksandblues

You should probably caveat that you have been to the track a time or two lol ?

I'm at 3K miles, mostly spirited country road driving, and don't think these will be worn until 12K miles or so. I am pretty easy on the tires though.
