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.

Got 19K out of the stock tires and they were corded. Got 20K out of Super sports and they were literally disintegrating and chunks were coming off them. On S-04s now, but I'm expecting about the same mileage as the rest. If you get 20K miles out of a sports car on Summer tires your doing alright!

Just renewed my tires. Z is a 2013, now with 53,k. - 26 months on the road with winters on for 4.5 months both years. Fronts still road worthy, rears certainly not. OEMs held for 32,600k. And yes, mostly highway miles - but all miles VERY spirited!

Most.

Def. got 30k out of my rears. Still not looking forward to having to buy new ones. May ride these out for a little longer.

I get maybe 20,000 miles on rears, mostly hwy, but when i'm done they look like drag slicks. LOL Been running Hankook V12's and a mid summer side to side rotation.
