The Official OEM Potenza life thread.

15k+ so far.... I can "see" thread... but they are definitely not fun to use while driving in heavy rain.. will probably change in 1k or 2k more.

Florida rainy season is coming.

I am very happy with the life of these... I average out 18k on tires no matter what car, or what tire I have, for some reason.

This is my rear tire at just under 15k miles. Somewhat aggressive driving on the street, no auto-x, a few 1/4 mile passes.

and in case anyone asks, this is what put the big hole in the tire:

Nope, the patch was leaking air. I got a new set of potenzas Wednesday. Then I took it to PBIR for a few 1/4 passes with the new tires that same day.

I'm at 11,300 miles and I'm getting close to the wear bars. I think I can get to 13k and then they'll be done.

I'm at 15,300.........I give them another 2k Max. I absolutely despise these Bridgestones. I wonder how the guys with the Yoko's on the base and non sport touring are fairing.
