The Official OEM Potenza life thread.

ejrives · 02-03-2010, 09:54 PM

So, I was able to squeeze 20,000 Miles out of the stock potenzas on my car. Was just curious to see how others were faring with their tirelife. Kinda lousy tread life if you ask me.

Was that 20,000 km or 20,000,000 miles?

20,000 miles is about all you can expect from a 140TW tire. If you want longer tread life go up to a 300TW tire and sacrifice a little grip.

tbonesteak · 02-04-2010, 02:51 AM

cant vote til my tires are shot but i have 5600 on the odo and the tires still look brand new. I drive pretty aggressively too. Hopefully they'll last me 20k as well.

Trips · 02-04-2010, 02:57 AM

4800 So Far, And they look fairly new!

rslavujevic · 02-05-2010, 11:45 PM

Changed rears today, 8800 miles

NismoZ_840 · 02-06-2010, 12:09 AM

13-14k but an out of spec alignment corded the inside shoulder of the rear tires. Just had a few autocross runs and the rest were DD miles.

RCZ · 02-06-2010, 12:25 PM

My rears were almost done at 8k miles.

bluestyle55 · 02-07-2010, 11:56 AM

I have 9k and a little less than 50% left on rears.

AutoX Z · 02-07-2010, 10:05 PM

13k and my rears are dead, like almost completely smooth dead. Front's look pretty good though.

batualla71 · 02-07-2010, 10:33 PM

I have 6500K and one of my front tires just blew on the road. I couldn't find exact same tire, so I replaced both with same Potenza 50A but 94Y. I steel got my other good 94W if enyone interested let me know.

I have just a little over 10k miles on my car and my rears are done. Down into the wear bars and everything. POS Bridgestones.
