How Many Miles Can/Did You Get Out of the LS2 Tires?

I guess there is no mileage warranty on these? How many miles should I expect to get out of them?

I had 30,000+ on them when I returned my leased 2015 TLX/SH-AWD
I know most people don't like them, but in NYC they were fine for me

So far I have over 32k on my car with 2 summers spent on PSS tires, and the rest of the time on the LS2's. So that's probably at least 20k on the LS2s

I will be happy to get rid of them, and go with something like the Continental DWS long before they are worn out, maybe even this fall. They are fine in the snow, but in the dry, I feel like their performance has fallen off much more than I would have expected for the amount of tread they have left which is pretty significant.

I have a little over 40K miles on mine. They're still about 6-7/32th tread left. They're pretty crappy in the snow. Just OK in the rain, hydroplanes a bit. The only reason why I haven't replaced them yet is probably because the SH-AWD makes up a bit for their lack of snow performance.

Last week, my tech said I still have 70% tread on it and I got 30k miles on it.

Really depends on how you drive. Replaced them at nearly 40k and still had at least 20k tread to go. Tire guy asked why I was replacing as they still looked good. Pretty good for stock tires, the lighter weight also helped with MPG.

If I get 65k out of them, I will be happy! Anyone have any recommendations on a good, budget friendly tire for when I get to replace these?

I just hit 75K on my 15 TLX before one went flat in the garage. I was going to just patch it since there was still good tread on the tires, but when I took it to a tire shop they said the wire was ready to show on the side of the tire so I got a new set. This is the most mileage I've ever got out of tires. Wanted to replace with the same but there weren't in-stock and I couldn't wait for them to order so I went with the Goodyear Assurance which is rated for 70K. I was worried that they would be louder than the LS2s, but they are surprisingly quite...so far.

You probably got a much better tire. The LS-2's don't get very good ratings on TireRack and one of my co-workers replaced them after he said the wet traction absolutely sucked for him. I replaced my original tires which were Bridgestones, I think, with Michelin Primacy MXM4's. They're great tires and I've still gotten a similar quiet ride and great mileage as the original tires had, but with better grip. I have about 32k on them and they've still got plenty of life left... maybe another 1-2 years -- who knows. That being said, I may try another tire, like the Assurance, next time..

FYI : if you're looking for quiet ride and/or good mileage, your best bet is to stick with grand touring tires and not the performance tires.

I had LS2s on my 14 Accord Sport. Such an awful tire that never failed to compromise the handling on my Sport. If it wasn't for my Sport being totaled (which later resulted in the acquisition of my TLX), I would have swapped out the Goodyears for just about anything else.

Just took my car in to get an oil change and was told 3-4/32 left on the tread. Should I replace? Or do I still have time?

Any good, budget friendly tires you would recommend?
