Default HOW LONG DO YOUR TIRES LAST?

Just checking to see what kind of setup they have and how long the tires last.

I have Yokohama S.Drive's on stock AP2 rims with about 15k on them. Still going strong.

Normal driving with a little fun thrown in maybe once a month.

ran rt615s and got 8k miles with even wear (with 2 trackdays)

stock tyres i went about 10kmiles with even wear but got rid of them even tho they still had about maybe 3-5k miles possible.

now on federal 595 SS and would go thru 2 pairs of rear tyres for every front, approx 10k miles (includes 3 trackdays and numerous drift/donut sessions hehe)

I got about 18k out of my BFGoodrich G-Force Sports. I'm so glad they're gone, I hated those tires.

I'm on Star Specs now and will likely get 12k or so out of them.

My Hankook RS2's and Falken FK-452's both lasted me 11k miles (rear) and my fronts twice as long.

I was quite disappointed with the Falken as they did not last longer than the Hankooks, which are a stickier tire.

Stock rears lasted 11k. Front tires look like they have another 11k left. My snow tires have lasted over 5k.
