Life of 370z tires

cobra · 03-10-2015, 12:09 PM

I bought a 2014 Z with the sport package so It's got the big tires on 19" rims and was wondering how much life I can get out of them driving normally 6-7 months out of the year, any idea guys, thanks !

In April, it'll be a year since I've had my Z. Tire still is in excellent condition.

An average of 15k on the oem tires per what I have read and experienced myself.

The movie has the tire in a boat with a cgi tiger.

lots of threads regarding OEM tire life on the forum...

Average miles to expect from OEM tires..

RE050 Tire Life?

Tire life (mileage) expectations

How many miles did you get out of your stock tires?

The Official OEM Potenza life thread.

I could go on, but hopefully you get the idea

I did it. Shockingly good results. I drove like that for like 5k miles

33k miles on the OEM Bridgestones (somehow). Also did 2 autocross events on them. Lots and lots of highway miles. Rears were bald but no cords, fronts had 2-3k left maybe.

Potenza S-04's I got maybe 29,000ish out of them before they're past the wear bar. This is daily driving. One ~600mi trip that had a few twisty turns, but for the most part just DD'ing it around town in Phoenix (grid setup), so there are no harsh turns on the tires at all.

I guess the grip was okay with them, but I'm really disappointed with the tread life.

OEM's have 23ish on them and are perfect, except one rear has a ton of shrapnel in it (and the sidewall).

LOL, anytime you can get close to 20K out of the rears, that is really good. Anything more is excellent.

15k but on skates and was driving it like I stole it.

ssmoked · 07-07-2015, 10:11 PM

Most that 'claimed' 30k plus on their tires are referring to the fronts. The fronts will outlast the rear at least 3:1 since the tires are staggered. Either that or they do 99% highway and have no spirited fun with their Z.
