Life of Stock Tires

[clownphish]

Aww crap, I didn't realize this was a mazdaspeed thread, I voted >11,000 on my stock Dunlops on my P5 if that matters at all. Actually got about 30k out of them.

I just hit 10k and the inside part of the tires are worn out. it turned out to be from the alignment so the dealer is gonna give me a set of potenzas for free

replaced mine at about 18000, rotated every 5000
they were pretty much gone by then, I dont really ever burnout either

Mine are a little over 13,k.. maybe close to 14... and need to be rotated for the first time... The rear's look new... the fronts look old. I still have pretty good depth, though... I do a lot of highway miles.

I need to find out how much the stock wheels weigh to decide what I'm going to do for new tires. If the stockers are heavy, I'll probably do something like the Kosei K1/Ecsta combo posted above for summer and use something more generic for winter.

And, if I do 2 sets of wheels/tires I would like to use a slightly higher sidewall for daily driving.. like a 50 series instead of the 45.

I got 18K out of them. All worn out only on the inside. Rotated at 12K.

Uneven wear usually means your car is out of alignment or you are over/under inflating your tires.
