How many miles can I milk out of the stock tires?
 

@ 30K now. How many more can I expect? Anyone??

Depends if you drive like a jackass or not..as well as a million other factors

30,001 if you drive it right :burnrubber:

I'm almost at 60k, tires still have a lot of tread left.

This makes me happy to see!

I presume those 60k included the occasional spirited drive?

Occasional canyon/coastal run, but nothing crazy.

The stock tires are guaranteed for 45,000 miles. I'm at 39K now with plenty of tread left. I should easily make it to 50K at least.

Thanks all.

17.5k on mine now. Plan to have then finished up by 25k. :cheers:

I have 35K miles and plenty of thread left...

About 25k miles, and I'm just at the wear bars.

i must really drive like a jackass. i'm around 15k and don't think i'll get more than another 5k out of them.

I sold mine at 42...km.

Im at 34k, and counting....







... on the second set of stock tires...

I'm at 20k on the stockers and put them through some good punishment. Still have a about 65% tread left I'd say.

I got around 25k out of mine

I'm at 41k miles and still have decent tread above the wear bars. I've done a lot of hwy driving over the last 2 years.

I'm at 29k and they're at 5/10 and 6/10. I take a lot of cross country drives so lots of highway miles.

25k and plenty of tread, but they are getting slicker "hard" so my dry traction has tanked, as if that was needed

These tires last for ever even on track days

I'm at 35k miles, about 20 miles a day in canyons alone where I occasionally go sideways. I wished it'll wear a bit faster as I'm looking for an excuse to go sp sports. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll last at least 50k.

Wow, how are you all getting so many miles on the stock tires? I guess autox and a supercharger are my culprits since I'm barely at 7k.

this thread really puts my jackassery into perspective as I only got ~16K out of mine. sorry for partying?

edit: they had a little life left in them but heading into winter I just dumped them.

I got just over 16k on mine too. They were asking for it. I have to admit it was fun to hate a set of tires enough to want to destroy them. I got more miles out of the michelin pilot sport A/S+ that replaced them.

34,919 miles and still 4/32 tread on them, but replaced with MPSS A/S 3

(Currently selling all 4 of my OEM stock tires for $50, excuse this shameless plug. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90410)

I heard these are the same tires on the Prius? Can say I doubt it they're so tall and "economy" looking, elaborate treat pattern and not much contact area.

Someone with much more knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong with the following:

These tires are the performance tires for the Japanese Prius, not the Prius here in the States.

You are incorrect. It is a violation of Man Law to use Performance and Prius in the same sentence.

10k and cording all 4 corners.

31k Miles....but not by choice. I had two punctures within two months, the last puncture was not fixable. Michelin PSS's were on within 12 hours :thumbup:

But had lots of tread left over though

My second set, PSS, lasted about 9k. Thank you, chip seal.

I've never owned a set of car tires that still rode worth a damn after 20k miles, even with regular rotation.

Hahaha, I'm at 30k mi too... I'm on my third set of tyres, and that's without doing any kind of track or autox work :P

Seriously though I wouldn't try to hold onto those stock tyres for too long. IIRC when I retired mine they still had some tread depth left, but they were starting to feel like drift trike wheels-- no grip at all, and not a progressive break-away either.

I was at 45k when I changed.

Hopefully I can get new rims and tires before 1K so I will never know

Michelin Super Sport Tires or the Michelin Super Sport A/S version.?
which is recommended best?
I read that the MSS handle better in the wet.

You ever going to be in light snow? A/S. Otherwise, regular.

I got 4k miles out of mine before replacing them with MPSS. That said they're continuing life on my WRX - which at 500lbs heavier and AWD, I don't expect to see 45k miles out of them - but we'll see.

Thanks - I think i am leaning towards MSS and will just run my wife's legacy sport once the first snow hits the ground.
I'm still on m stock wheel set up for now (1,005 miles) and will see if i can let the tires loose a little before going for a 18" set up.

I'm going for the ASA GT10 Hyper Silver Wheels with the Super Sport Tires on 92Y

Its not just snow - temps drop in to the 30's, even in the dry, and your tires will lose grip. Just fyi.
