just curious, how many sets of tires have you went through and which brand/model is your favorite for both performance and longivity?

My 370z has 42k on it (Its not quite 2 years old yet). My dad's '04 350Z has 150k miles on it though. Not the original engine though.

I will be putting about 40,000 kms on mine per year but I get paid .46 per km for most of those kilometers so Im not worried about wearing out the car as I bought it to drive. I also have a 1996 BMW with just under 400,000 on it (all except 20,000 put on by me) and I stil ldrive it almost every day as well.

Sorry to hear

houkouonchi · 07-26-2012, 08:56 AM

I will be over 50k miles after next week. That being said I do have a 2010 model which I bought new (6 miles on it) and I have had it 2 years and 1 months.

Alstann · 06-19-2012, 12:06 PM

That being said...how much do you guys think a block replacement would cost if say, after 150k+ miles, the engine has some sort of failure? Worth it?

DEpointfive0 · 06-19-2012, 02:09 PM

Replace or rebuild? I had my engine rebuilt in LA with a 2 year unlimited mile warranty for $2.2k?

Went over 26K recently in my 2.5 years of driving my 09. I mostly drive with SRM off, I would like to think I shift smoothly but are you high mileage guys preserving the clutch by driving with it on all the time? I like heel-toeing but am a practical person when it comes to going the distance on wear-parts.

mhcoss · 06-19-2012, 08:34 PM

I plan on driving my Z into the ground and then rebuilding it. I'll never sell her mwahahah

prochobo · 06-21-2012, 09:24 AM

Ha OP I remember in another mileage thread you were at ~71k. I'm now at 55K and have had 0 issues as well. I'm debating on whether or not to run the **** out of it for a few thousand miles to make sure everything's good before the power train warranty runs out.

Probably better to have it happen before the warranty runs out than after. I'm at 45k, but my driving has significantly reduced now that I'm done with school. My school was 30 miles away from home and 40 miles from work and now I just drive like 10 miles to work.

The Z is a very solid car, just alot of people on hear cant drive or dont know how to take care of a car.
