What tread life/miles have you been experiencing on factory installed tires? Thanks.

It depends on how many times you spin the tires!!! LOL!!!!!

I have the F1 tires on my SRT8 and at 6500 miles the fronts are beginning to show wear on the edges. Since we can't rotate them I guess I'll be getting new tires fairly soon. I don't do many burnouts. (I know, I'm boring)

Now my previous 5.7 I put 23,000 on the Conti's before I said enough was enough and got rid of them for the Goodyear AC's. Made a world of difference in the handling of that car.

I had the 300c 18" self sealer conti's. I bought new tires/rims after 13.5k miles.

Probably 2k remaining life on the tires.

JOEY, I'm curious what replacement tires are you using? Thanks.

LOL i wish i could have gotten that kind of milage out of those conti's i went through TWO brand new sets of Conti's and the car only had 24,000 miles, but then again i drive my car like someone stole it everyday. Now im runnin some toyo proxees and i love them the car feels much smoother and definatly takes the turns with out problems, when i had the conti's goin around a turn real fast those P.O.S tires would slide all over.

I changed rim sizes to 20" and purchased Toyo Proxies 255/45/20s'.
I waited until the Conti's were worn down to buy new rims/tires.
I was running my Conti pressure fairly low, 29lbs to 30lbs.
