RAPTR 04-25-2006, 05:56 PM Just wondering, for a daily driver type, what kind of mileage are guys getting on their stock tires before replacement? Thanks fellas Bman 04-25-2006, 06:15 PM sti or wrx? My RE92s did not last more that a few thousand due to the fact that they sucked and I got rid of them. RAPTR 04-25-2006, 06:36 PM STi 06' BlkWRXWag 04-25-2006, 06:39 PM Anywhere from 1,000 miles to 20,000. Depends how you drive on them and what your alignment settings are. RAPTR 04-25-2006, 06:45 PM Ok I'll be more specific, lol. I drive an hour to work everyday and back home 1 hour. I would say traffic is at a medium level. Stock alignment. I'm a oppurtunist driver, if I see a sweet line, I usually take it pretty fast. Other than that I don't offroad or race. I'm waiting for more supporting mods before I think she's track ready. BlkWRXWag 04-25-2006, 06:53 PM Go get a proper alignment - the tires will last longer. Max camber up front - zero toe all round. nikeboy 04-25-2006, 08:23 PM I had mine on for 60,000 Yah yah grandma driver but they went through it all snow, mud ,gravel, and on the street. BlkWRXWag 04-25-2006, 08:57 PM I had mine on for 60,000 Yah yah grandma driver but they went through it all snow, mud ,gravel, and on the street. Except you're talking about RE92's, not RE070's. Thumper23 04-25-2006, 09:00 PM sti or wrx? My RE92s did not last more that a few thousand due to the fact that they sucked and I got rid of them. Haha, that's about right. Got rid of those once I left CO in my WRX. Have about 24k miles now on my 070's and they'll last me through the summer probably. E. Nick 04-25-2006, 09:46 PM I also got about 25K on my RE070's. BluSuby 04-25-2006, 10:12 PM I put 16k on my Re070's. That was with one autocross, 19 runs down the strip, and a 52 mile daily commute on a lousy PA rural highway, Bryan REX8 04-25-2006, 11:49 PM You better get them off ASAP and get some cheap tires... A 2 hour daily drive will kill them fast.... Advans 04-26-2006, 12:00 AM 22k miles and still counting(but about to reach its limit). That's on factory allignment :rolleyes: and crappy bay area roads. No autox/track/strip with these tires. Foxy 04-26-2006, 06:25 PM You better get them off ASAP and get some cheap tires... A 2 hour daily drive will kill them fast.... Yes, they will explode and destroy your car.. you should give them to me for proper disposal :cool: RAPTR 04-26-2006, 06:31 PM LOL!!! So far they look pretty good. I got 14,000 miles on then right now and I bought my 06 in September. People told me not to drive them in the Colorado winter but I wanted to see why they told me that. Actually, they did surprisively well. We didn't have they greatest snow in the front range but I went out to test them at higher speeds. It was a good time to test out the DCCD. nemocity 04-26-2006, 06:55 PM After I hydroplaned a few times [turning into corners and having the front end plow straight ahead for a few feet as if on snow], they did not last as long as most...6k miles and I gave the bitches away to a friend with an auto shop to be nice guy to someone needing 205/55-16's! Replaced stockers for winter with 225/50 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S and they may not turn in as well as my 225/45-17 Fuzion ZRi's on Kosei K-1 TS rims but on an exit ramp they hold as well at the sliding point...even in the colder temperatures...and if you want you can go 80 mph in a downpour and laugh...they channel water like a firehose! WickedSTI 04-26-2006, 10:02 PM I also got about 25K on my RE070's. I got around the same 26,500 ish Brad ghostfoot7 04-26-2006, 11:03 PM I've had 60,000 km on mine but they are due for replacement.. like NOW. lol goingfor400HP 04-27-2006, 05:16 PM I had mine on for 60,000 Yah yah grandma driver but they went through it all snow, mud ,gravel, and on the street. Before I realized you were talking about the 92s I was going to spit my drink out :lol: I am optimistic that the 70s will last 30k miles, hopefully I get there. Sneeky Pete 04-27-2006, 05:29 PM 12k on an RS and I burned them till they were bald..... super-ru 04-27-2006, 05:53 PM I got my RE070's to 33,000 and change, this is with the 35R kit on too. Of course cords where showing when I got them replaced :O |
