Miles on OEM tires?
My car is about to turn 10k miles and the rear tires need to be replaced. How many miles did you get on the OEM tires? I will get another pair of the OEM tires for the rear this time with the hope that both fronts and rears will need replaced next time. Of course I will be going away from the OEM tires when I replace all four since I think they have low grip. I may just do that this time even though the fronts are still in good shape.

Theirs a thread about this somewhere in the website. People have had their OEM tires last for 30K+. My car came with tires that weren't for the S but did well. They have a treadwear rating of 400 so they will last me forever. That and I dont drive my car everyday. Most people say that you will go through 3 pairs of rears before you replace the fronts.

Yea, I'd say 10k is about right. S-02s are very high performance (and expensive) tires but have a very low treadwear rating.
When I bought my car, it had 12,900 miles on it and a fairly new set of Yokohama AVS ES100s on the rear, so I would say that the original S-02s probably lasted about 12k miles.

Replaced mine at about 11.5K. It all depends how aggressively you drive which determines how often you tires are replaced. We have a few in our group that have replaced their rears with under 10K and others at about 25K.
One of our members goes through a set of rears (not S-02s tho) every two months or so.
