i coin measured my tire treads and they're being used pretty quickly. i only have 11,000 miles on my car, but it doesn't look like the tires will last much longer. the inside is wearing out quicker than the outside. i think it's because of my Eibach springs.

for those who have had to replace their tires already, how long did the stock tires last?

mine are doin the same. . . you got the good years?

are you stock ride height? is the pavement constantly dry and hot? how many turns do you make? highway driving or city? how many miles a day? im runnin 28,000+ on my xB and it looks like i can go to35K

it all depends on location also. i heard from someone that lived in AZ that anything rubber doesnt last long. ex. belts, and tires and such. some more info can help too.

depending on Good year you may be able to get tires replaced by Good Years warranty. check the paperwork in the owners manual for the tire man.

when i worked at BMW, Michelin, Continental, and certain touring tires OEM get warranty replacements or credit from the tire manufacturer.

maybe a appropriate answer would be who thinks they have the highest miles on there stock tires? im wondering the samething. :shock: 8)

it depends how you drive, if your like me, I think you can get about 9k out of them

what r u wondering LOL

my car doesnt float

My front tires are bald, looking for new tires. Anyone have recommendations?

check the classifieds, you can get peoples old wheels cheap

Did you have your vehicle re-aligned to the original factory specifications after you installed your Eibach's?

Did you have your vehicle re-aligned to the original factory specifications after you installed your Eibach's?

nope. im broke.

A lot of reviews on the horrible Bridgestone Potenza's say around 15k miles/

I think the real answer to this question: "Longer than you want them to." ;)

I'm only at 6K miles, but I've had very little wear.

Other than for bling factor,
is getting new tires that aren't factory stock worth it?

well they handle better, but if you don't care about that then no, and the bling factor comes when you get new tires on some new rims

stock tires on stock set up 40k miles (goodyear tires)

i asked that same question at indy tire local tire place in town

soon as i need new tires i'm getting 80k mile tires or the most i can get with the size i need

Are the stock tires a weird size or are they easy to replace? And when you do replace them (with stock wheels) what choices do you have?

The OEM tires on the xA and xB are...

"Goodyear Eagle LS"
They are cheep, noisy, low quality tires
with limited traction that wear quickly.
:shock:

Thats why I got "Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50" to survive the NY winters:

But I *really* want to get wider, superior traction, summer tires like the
"Goodyear Assurance TripleTred " for the warm weather:

those are cheater slicks :lol:

ok what you do now is get some tires handy and roast these and put them in the sport compact car mag for the burnout of the month. make sure you give shoutouts to ScionLife!

The tires aren't going to last long. Their too soft, thats why they grip so good on dry pavement. The treadwear rating is 160 I belive which is really crappy. I would be supprised if they last anywhere past 20,000. I don't think there a chance they will go 25,000.

Mine are like lonewolf's, I got over 15,000 and they still look new. I figure I'll get at least 50,000 on 'em.

Boston roads suck and being lowered in teh winter sucks even more. New tires next week..

On my 11/04 built xA, they're Bridgestone RE92's here in So. Cal.

Still, sucky tires according to tirerack.com, they're <6.9 rated tires and people on Maxima's who get them OEM as well are BEGGING people to run away from these tires like the plague for the poor dry & esp. wet performance.

Daily driving wise, they're okay, a bit noisier than a good tire, but otherwise decent for the OEM thus far (haven't had a chance to try them wet yet). But haven't pushed them to their limits yet (still in break-in period on my xA).

I found a couple of 3 year old post but nothing recent. Just wondering how many miles people are getting on their stock tires(XB).

I have 32k and they still look new but I do about 99% freeway.

Im at ~19K miles, and the tires still look new.

I think rotation plays a HUGE part in how long they last, followed closely by your driving style.

Thanks for that Rally....

I replaced the stock alloys and Goodyears on the xB at about 30-35K. I only did it to put on the Fliks.....I then put the stock alloys and GY on the xA. The xA then had maybe 15K and now has like 27K....The GY are doing fine...at maybe 45K total.

I'm running the xA steelies right now on the xB, as I busted one of the Fliks....the thinner tires had some screeching on the xA.....but alot on the taller xB....

my stock Bridgestone Potenza Tread wear rating 160 are at the tread wear indication marks right now. Only 20,000 miles 50% highway 50% city gas saving driving style. I'm using what little tread that's left between the tread wear marks and racing slicks for Denver's blizzards because of broken wallet. Wish me luck

i have 18k on goodboots and they still look new. the key is airpressure and tire rotation. iowa driving.

maybe a appropriate answer would be who thinks they have the highest miles on there stock tires? im wondering the samething. :shock: 8)

I don't know if this is the record or not. I have 44,708mi on my original stock tires. They are OEM: Goodyear Eagles LS P185/60R/15 on stock steel 15" rims. I Purchased my 2006 TCM xB w/Auto in Oct. 2006. I will drive something around 40,000 miles a year, so I need a car that is Cheap and Dependable such as xB 1st gen.

How does one drive 40k a year?

Easy. I am a Sr. Field Engineer for a big company and go all over the North Bay Counties in N. Calif. The company permits one to use a personal vehicle as the Company Vehicle. I get reimburse money based on the daily rate on a monthly basis. In fact, it is like a Free Car. My reimbursement pays for all the gas, insurance, car repairs (basically, none so far) and expenses and have money leftover. People call it a toaster. I call it a Money Maker.

The car is basically stock. All I have are appearance mods. The engine is stock. The springs, suspension are stock.

My only Secret for long tire life on the stock Goodyears is I Rotate the tires every 5k along with my 5k oil change with Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w-30w Oil. That's It.

If How ones Drives, Makes a Difference:

I don't tell the company but I do 75-80mph in the No. 1 Lane half the time all day long (actually that is kinda slow sometimes in the Fast Lane, I get people tail-gating me and blowing past at 90+. But, that is another story) and I drive the City Streets and Burbs the other half. Say, about 20k freeways and 20k city a year. It is also my weekend ride and daily grocery getter.

If any one wants to know, I still have a lot of meat left on my tires. My guess is it looks like another 40,000mi. left on the tread. I don't know what the original warranty is or don't care because I already got my money's worth.

Actually, I am PO it is taking so long to wear out my tires! I want to get Custom 17"Chrome Wheels w/low profile tires. But, then, I think I can forget about long miliege on my tires. Oh well, you can't have Everything.

Just my True Story, FWIW

MR LUV

well with a several thousand miles on them ummmm about 60 sec.
