How much life are you guys getting out of the stock tires?...
I'm at 8000 miles and I have about a month left on the tires. Is this what you guys are getting?

I'm at 11k miles right now and I have a couple of months left on my rear tires (more on my front). I drive very aggressively, but have done very few stoplight burnouts. I also haven't tracked my M3 yet.

I used my stock tires on the first two track days (dry) and two other wet track days. Plus I got 4,500miles on the car. The rear - interestingly - looking better than the front. The second track session on the dry abused my front tires a lot. I estimate they will last at least 4K miles more.

My fronts look great, but the rears have maybe 5k left on them. I'm at 11.5k...guess I'm chirping the tires too much going into 2nd and 3rd .

I got about 6500 miles and most of an autocross season. They still had a few mm of tread but were pretty well thrashed.

20k miles out of my 18 inch PS2s including 3 track days. But they are down to 2.5/32 inch at this point. I've never got much more than 10k out of a set. I don't understand how they lasted this long. I also am trying to nurse them till I get my winters on.

Honestly I was at 16K before I switched to my current set of Bridgestone RE-11s. However, I bought the car with almost 4000 miles on the clock, but I'm pretty sure they were the original PS2s. In that 16K , I participated in three track days if I remember correctly.

I'm at 17K with 4 track days. One of those days was in the wet. I usually drive pretty easy on the street except some high speed on/off ramps, but agressively on the track.

Hey folks, are the stockers (19" PS2s) okay up to freezing while taking it easy? Don't know if I should buy high-performance all-season tires or keep my PS2s until they crap out. I'll never track my car, so don't need summer max performance tires. Thx.

I will most likely go with PS2s again just due to the fact they lasted so long and performed very well on the track (for my driving level)

You especially don't need all season tires or anything but summer tires in El Paso.

It's the same thing as motorcycle tires. No need to use a sport tire when a sport-touring one has all the grip you need, plus they last a lot longer. Take care, and thanks again for your recommendation. |
