Life of 370z tires
 

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.

was hoping to read a biography of them bridgestones..

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

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

I could go on, but hopefully you get the idea :tup:

Im gonna put my fronts to the back for educational purposes HAHAH.

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).

:shakes head: stupid youngling cry babies of today...

it could air on discovery channel
how??
how???


i couldn't even get 20k out of the stock tires. they didn't even last me a year lol. i'm already 11k into the michelin pilot ss and they seem to be doing good for another hopefully 15-20k

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.

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.
