Stock rear tire life expectancy?

[romanLegion9574]

I've got 3 track days, 11k miles, and countless spirited drives on the stock PSSs. Still got decent tread left. No donuts (no good location) or tail happiness (plenty of corners where if you go off, its straight into a tree or wall or off a cliff) in the corners. I'm expecting to be around 15k when I swap to wider PS4s in March or so, once the weather starts warming up here.

About to hit 25K on mine... still fine, but will get wheels and tires soon. DD only and I'm amazingly good at ignoring kids determined to race me. I'm not perfect at it however, so there have been a few stripes laid at undisclosed intersections in the past 2 years - but very few.

I like to drive fast-ish (usually 85-95) but I don't mind taking 6-8 seconds getting to that speed and I only do that on freeways and back roads.

10k

Have 10K on my rear tires since the car was purchased new about 2 years ago. Just passed the inspection and are reported to have 50% left. I have not been driving the car very aggressively. I use it as a daily driver and find myself in traffic much of the time.

Mine just hit 28k rears finally need to get replaced.

I’ll be lucky to get 10k out of mine.

Rotated every 3k (side to side) and I always assure the tire pressure is correct. Some spirited driving but no track. Just a super soft summer tire.

Holy hell...you guys must be doing a ton of burnouts or something. These things are supposed to last into the 20,000 to 35,000 mile range.

If you make tires on a performance car last 20k miles you must be driving this like I drive my Corolla.

If you want tires to last on this car we might as well start comparing MPG this is hilarious. Now I know who gets 25+MPG and is proud

Hey here and there is fine we all do. You should get under 20 if you actually drive it stock or not, I'm talking about the guys who rarely do pulls or go over 100 because "gas is expensive"

oh it was because my SO was in the car and she doesn't like it when I "play" on the highway...and we had a container of cupcakes in the trunk that I didn't want to ruin!

Similar to @AustinGRSupra, I’m in Central Texas and agree the Texas heat is hard on tires. Getting mine changed today at 15K miles and have never tracked my car but enjoy spirited drives in the Texas Hill Country.

The rears have adequate tread remaining but seem to have hardened and slip A LOT when taking off from a standstill.

The fronts are at 50% but planning to replace them when I do the rear tires.

Before buying my Supra, I had PS4S’s on my G37S (6MT) and was always happy with them in dry or rain so I’ll be putting the same on my MKV.
