I had 19,990 miles on my Bridgestsone Potenza RE-50s and the rear's were worn out. Front's were almost out at the time. The RE-50s are good for handling but have shitty tread life (140AA).

The RE-11s are better tires with a 180AAA rating.

For me, I swapped my RE50's with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Ultra High Performance All-Season) tires. I have had a little over 20,000 miles on these tires and they are amazing. Still going strong and looking to get another 20k out of em [hopefully ]. The tread rating on these tires are 500AAA. The only downside is that they pretty expensive. I got these tires because I got a crazy commute.

Hope this helps.
