How long did your stock tires last?
 

I just did my tire rotation today after 8,000 miles and noticed that i may only have 50% of tire life left. How long did your OEM tires last?

Just read your thread and went to go test my tread out. According to the reading I have equal to or a little greater than 2/32" of tread left, meaning I am not in need of new tires just yet. I am at 11,450 miles.

they still have a lot life in em, parking lot drifts and a few autox.

I took mine off after 16k miles or so 15k of which was unaligned after my drop and a lot of launches and a few spirited drives and I would say they still have a solid 50% left.

2/32nd (and also the legal limit) is pretty shallow.... might want to look at another set of tires soon.

On the side note, these tires are rated for 35,000 Miles. I'm pretty sure (99.99%) that these tires have a tread life warranty. Might want to call up Michelin to see if you can get some prorated refund on these 201 dollar tires.

Edit:

Changed the tire mileage rating from 30,000 to 35,000 miles. Scion FRS are W Speed rated tires.

9800 miles, 7 autox events, 6mm left all around, i think they are holding up well for what ive put them through but ill be buying Z2s for next spring anyway so im not concerned with life

39,100 miles so far. The tread life is pretty good. I beat these tires up pretty bad.

50 miles before I got real tires.

I replaced mine at 15,000 and they probably had a good 70% left.

DANG .... WillBRZ ...... I wish you'd take that little bug off your signature block ....... I keep trying to get it off my screen ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/shoofly.gif

I want to say i made it to 9k miles... i was at or below 2/32, the tire started chunking off at that point. My S2000 also typically lasted 7-9k miles per set on 615's / re10's (i think those were the tires i typically ran).

Does Michelin need some type of proof in order for me to get a 2nd new set at a discounted rate? How does that work?

Can I also choose another Michelin Tire besides the stock ones?

You can take it to an Authorized Michelin retailer. Show them the tire (they must be at 2/32nds or lower), and then they would call up Michelin and then reimburse you.

I'm not sure if you can change the tires. You can try though.

Use the following link to find a local Michelin retailer. http://www.michelinman.com/dealer-lo...r-locator.page

Call Michelin Customer Care if you want more details. 1-866-866-6605.

I'm so glad the FRS came with Michelins. They're the only tire company I would support :) Great Customer Service, they even provide free towing if your tire blew/flat changing assistance. You can count on this company to get your back for an additional year after your Scion Boost expires. :thumbup:

27,000 miles. Had a little life left, but winter was coming. Might have made it another 5-8k with another rotation if I lived in a warm dry climate.

Changed mine at 4/32 which clocked in at 20,000 miles. Exclusively DD use, although my DD is about 60 miles of twisty backroads. I could have ran them longer, but I couldn't stand the way they handled wet roads.

Im down to the wear bars at 38k. Lots of canyon runs, an autox, and some abandon warehouse drifting.

You guys are showing me how abusive I really am to tires.

This is a pretty useless post. OP is not asking how long your tires lasted on your car, he's asking how much tread life people have gotten.

I've put 3500 miles and still at a full 9/32nds .. to be on topic.

Just being a ****, gave mine away lasted the dude 20k so far still at 5/32

Mine were bald and almost corded at 14k. Track day and minimum of 3 spirited drives a week

14K oh my. I can't afford tires every year. I'll have to stay slow or sell a kid.

I blew threw them in 7 months haha

All 4 running two at a time got me about a day on the drift track :D

9.5k miles of normal and hard driving and still at least 50 percent left, apart from the outsides (need more negative camber). I have the Bridgestone Potenzas btw

21k and still around 50% that's 4 autoX, and 4 trackdays, and a couple of drift sessions, but on very smooth concrete.. Think parking garage type concrete.. A few mountain runs.. But as you can see I'm not fast lol.. 1:51 I think at big willow.. Best a 1:33's at streets.. Usually around 1:35's and 4-5 secs off the best guys at the autox

The stock Michilen tires lasted 16k.

No measurement, but I'm at 18k and it looks like I have tons of meat left (50% maybe?). I do drive the car hard, but I put 70 highway miles on every day, so I get a lot of miles with not much wear...

EDIT: pulled out a tread gauge. Original tread depth is 9.5/32; my fronts were down to 6/32, rears 4/32. I find that pretty amazing for a claimed 240 treadwear. Just goes to prove that treadwear is not really a number you can compare between brands; my 180 treadwear Kumho XS (8/32) was down to practically nothing after 14k on my Miata. I wonder how long my new 200 treadwear BFG Rivals (7/32) will last...
