How long does the OEM tires on the 2013 Z suppose to last you?
 

Title says it all, Im swapping my OEM tires today for the Continental DWS.
Mine Lasted just past 10k miles. Some burnouts, Drifting.
And getting an Alignment, Hopefully this solves all my problems if not, suspension and rotors are next.

Anyone have any experience with the DWS's? Feedback in the snow?

No tires will last long on a Z.

Sounds like you were having fun with only 10k and done. Mine lasted right at 23k and the rears were done and the fronts had about 5k of life in them. My tires were the Yokohama Advan sports. Were these on yours as well. My new set of tires are the Bridgestone S04's. Ride quality is good but I wouldnt advise using these for the track or drifting. Side walls are spongier but the off set is a better, quieter ride.

I had the Potenzas

i got about 10K on the RE050's.

i run DWS on my fwd dd as winter tires in a snow belt state. the tires do very well for light snow. but starting around 2-3inches deep the tires dramatically loose grip. it's no match for snow tires, but the best all seasons ive tried through the years. very long lasting too.

downside... sidewall is mush, not a fan of round sidewall appearance, and blooms (browns) very easily.

Oh ok, good my friend was like omg tires should last u 4 years.
But he drives a toyota.

:icon18: there is so much wrong to your posts i luv it! :rofl2:

Rotors won't help your tires last longer FYI lol

10,000 to 25,000 miles with proper alignment. However, with burn-outs and drifting, much, much less.

Also drifting is hard on suspensions, so you need to check your alignment more frequently.

Hmm yea, hopefully after today my car will be brand new, decided to just get the rear tail light replaced, new tires, alignment this 7 hour drive to Canada is gonna be sexy.

my rears lasted 9400 miles/1 year driving were just barely 4/32 when i switched out tires last Friday. no abuse to the tires mostly back and forth to work, puttering around town, some back road curvy driving, a trip to atlanta and one to st louis.

12k I replaced my rears.

How much did the DWS cost you? I'd be interested to see how you feel about them. I was debating on getting a set, but not sure how I feel about all-seasons..

Let me.get the invoice.from. the shop, ill let u know

Ill take a picture of the invoice when i go to the shop after work.
I also want to know how much everything was in reference.
Also its my second shop ever so I also want opinions of it the money amount is fair.
Ill post pics and what not. Soon of the invoice and work done.

but that's kinda after the fact, no? :icon17:

are you on 18's or 19's?

Lol yea, it was last minute I just threw the car at them told em to fix it, if price is fked ill make sure to give em an earfuk and im on 19

lol. :D

886 at tirerack add freight 50 + local mount balance approx 60 + tax and you got a deal or not. so 1000-1050 is about right.

....why r new tires so slippery, I almost died last night

Read the fine print, there is a caution about that.

FYI

yea, def should have read the fine print

release lube from the mold, needs break-in to your alignment setting. just go easy for the first 100miles or so..

My front tires are original and the car has 17500 Miles...very worn, they will make it to 20,000 Miles IMO or a bit further.

As for rear tires... well.... you dont need me to explain how that works :)

Geez I got almost 33k on my stock RE050's and that included two autocross events. Are you guys doing burnouts at each light?? lol my fronts had some tread left as well. Decided to replace them with RS3's 275/35r19 square since they were on closeout for $900

Doing 24,000+ Miles and still going with original Yokohama advan sport.

:gtfo2:

Lol, well hopefully I dont die.on my.way to canada, anyone.in Canada wanna meet for.food :)

I am at 22,450 miles with the factory tires. The back tires are about done, but I drive the expensive tires until they are onion grips...LOL I should make it to 25,000 with no issues. We shall see. Factory Advan sports that Nismo's have.

10k yikes...

My pre-owend (purchased at 19k currently at 22) is still running strong, light wear on the rear of course ;) previous owner must not have done much joy riding as everything is still factory and in great condition

I only got 14k out of my 2013 sport RE050's.

I swapped to Hankook Evo v12's and currently hate them. Lol 285-35-19

I just got a huge bolt in a rear 2012 Potenza yesterday, went to the dealer to have it fixed since I have the insurance and all 4 are showing signs of dry rot. 13K on the clock in the 2yr 4mo that I have had the car.

I thought 13K was a pretty short life span until reading the other posts in here.

Going with Hankook V12's on all 4 corners. Buy 3 get 1 free and then being able to claim the damaged rear I only end up paying for 2 tires plus installation of 4 so I guess its not all that bad.

Anyone else in Vegas/Phoenix area have issues with dry rot on the OEM's ? I only have 8 months left on the lease so I hope these new shoes can hold up til then.

ive not had dry rot issues lately on my tires, but long time ago i had a RE910 or something on my dd and it had a pretty bad case of it.

might want to search wat causes dry rotting and prevent it from happening if you can.

DW's are great tires I had them on and I got 25K and they looked good with a lot of rubber when I sold the car.

Yep just got back from Canada, 1k miles in 6 days. Tires r doing awesome, have to order the rotors now, I'm thinking of just doing the front two to see if that gets rid of the shaking wheel, do I need to replace all four

Check the wheel balance and alignment first, if that's all good you may just need a resurfacing on the rotors.

I've still got the original Potenza's on my 2010 40th and current have over 21,000 miles on them. The rears are worn more than the fronts, but there is still some "meat" left. I was going to replace them at the beginning of this season, but it looks like they will last until next spring.

I have done the Dragon, Cherahola, etc... on a few ZdayZ and am really surprised at how long the tires have lasted. Yeah for me!!!!

Next year, I think that Michelins are the right choice for me.

If you end up replacing your rotors which ones are you planing on getting? OEM, slotted or 2 piece?

Most likely slotted

Nice!
