At 57,000 miles with about another 5,000 on them. Mostly highway miles to work and long out of town trips.

I never get more than 25,000 miles out of any set of tires. Roads are not the best here though, and everywhere is pretty curvy.

I put about 27k on my stock tires before dumping them due to sidewall bulges, my second set are worn out and after reading about more wear issues with that brand I will change again.

It really depends on the driving style of the person and road conditions.

seriously, if you dont race your car or burn the tires everyday, you should be getting at least 30000 miles out of a 360 rated tire.

I have almost 60K on the OEM tires. I think they'll last another 3K miles but will probably change tires before the end of summer.

I have 22K and counting on the OEM. I hate these tires but I'm too cheap to replace them before they are worn out. They will last atleast another 10K.

I've got just over 27,000 miles and they are worn. Probably about 3000-4000 miles left and they're gone. I don't drive too hard, but maybe the hot temps in AZ help it to wear more....I dunno....

I've gone thru 3 stock OEM tires in 23K miles. Bubbles and Blowouts from potholes own me.

I switched to Yokos 'cause the stock oem's sidewalls suck...

Thats definetly the worst I've heard so far.

I had my OEM tires on for 15K miles before I put on my summer rims\tires. The stock tires are almost done. My summer tires are getting worn really fast too though, and they were brand new when I put them on. They have about 11,000 miles on them. I will probably have to replace them when they have about 17-18K on them. Going to BFG T\A KDW-2's

16k on mine and they look as thick as new

When the tread compaound is closer to hard plastic than rubber they should last a long time, unfortunately for us that like to go past 1/4 throttle or take a corner faster than 5mph.
