17,000 miles.
1 set OEM 99% gone.
1 set OEM 50% used up.
1 set Kumho 712's slick in 3000 miles.
1 set Kumho V700's corded all four.
1 set Kumho V700's w/80% life left.
Damn that's a lot of money spent on tires!

Current miles = 18500
Still running on OEM's...
I can probably run the rears to 20000 - 21000, at least.
The fronts are 70 - 75 % new...
Just ordered PP SO2's to replace the rears. I want to get as much out of the OEM's as possible.

Charlie - it is people like you who need to start spending more $ on tires to keep the economy strong. 
That is my reasoning anyway....

[B]OK with 16k on my oem tires and still 2k left in them, am I doing something right or wrong? Perhaps Scot can give me some lessons on driving. Oh I have only one autox on them.

20,200 miles changed rears to Honda spec S02's tires were seriously into the wear bars and not safe. Under normal driving conditions 20,000 miles is excessive mileage out of the S02's.
