Default miles on original tires

About how many miles did you guys put on your factory Eagle F1's before you replaced them? I've always wondered how long they're supposed to last.

I've got 25,000 on mine and they'll go another 3,000 or so, they are getting pretty thin. I've got a lapping day this coming Monday and then on 10/21 ..... that should probably do it for my tires.

I got about 17,000 out of them. The roads in Arizona in the summer are brutal on tires.

I've got 36,000 on GS-C and will probably get 40,000 out of them. That includes about 15 passes as the track on them <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I bought my 99 SS with 28k miles on it with stock tires still on it... i suppose thats a great releif... it tells me that the previous owner didnt beat on it too hard.. either that or he replaced the tires some time back, but i doubt it. Needless to say, i went another 4k on them, then made a huge smokeshow behind my shop.. what can i say.. my boss egged me on. Then i rotated them, did it again... and then put on my Potenza RE730's and havent been burnin too much on these...
