How many miles did you get out of your stocks?

Just passed 14k on my stocks and was wondering where you guys had to change. I want to get almost full use out of them for money reasons but I am not afraid to drop them early for better rubber. Just want to know what average is. I was thinking at 20k to get 225/50/17's would that be too early?

Replaced mine at 23k cause I just didn't like em - there might have been another 5k in three of them but one was worn down on the edge.

I probably have another 5 k on the two that didn't get fucked up by not getting an alignment more often. I have 23k on the car now. They will be a good emergency set. Tomorrow my 19s come in

I have 33k on them and they still look pretty good. I do a rotation and balance every 7500 miles. But I will probably change them this summer.

Got it at Houston Car Sterio for $140 including part, labor and tax. I should had my alarm installed there. Could have the Avanguard, the top on the line Clifford for the same price as my Solaris.

I have almost 28k and drive aggressive most of the time. I have decided to get new tires because these are starting to hydroplane and slip a lot. I got the Bridgestone SO-3 Pole Positions. Hopefully they will last almost as long.

I haven't had a chance to snap any pics yet, but you can get a general idea from http://www.tirerack.com/tires/michel...t_sport_as.jsp

I'm sure someone has a pic or two of the tires on their CL, however.
