i was wondering whats the avg tread life of some low profile tires? from kuhmos to yoks any one have an idea?

 

they got tread ratings of all sorts of tires at tirerack

 

i want to get the scion life members POV. All those reviews are for other cars.

 

I just put my kumhos on two weeks ago. I'll post results in a year. :D

 

215 40 18 Dayton (cheapo no name $100 tire at Big O) mounted on 7.5s
Treadwear rating 300
TRD springs
Stock shocks
Stock alignment specs
27K miles so far.
All of it on my 100 mile round trip commute which consists of nothing by mountain roads.
I corner relatively hard (normally see .85 to .90 on my G meter with a max of .95)
They are getting close, but I should be able to pull another 5K-10K miles out of them.

 

depending on how you drive, if your cars lowered or not, how often you have the tires rotated, how often the air pressure is checked, things like that , you show be able to get about 35k to 45k out of most any brand , but only if you take time to maintain them properly -- rotate the tires every 5k and have the alignment checked once a year and check air pressure once a month

 

lol!

 

FYI, these estimates may help!

O.E Passenger Tires = 70 to 80k
Standard Touring = 60k
Grand Touring = 50 to 60k
High Performance - Summer Wet/Dry = 35 to 45k
High Performance - All Season = 45 to 60k
Ultra High Performance - Summer Wet/Dry = 8 to 25k
Ultra High Performance - All Season = 15 to 45k
Max Performance - Summer Wet/Dry = 7 to 20k
