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.

 

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?

 

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.

Tire Rack customer reviews are here...

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:
