How many miles did you put on your factory tires?

Post by Atrixz »

Right now I'm at about 25,000 miles on my factory steel wheel/tires and the treads are visibly lower than when I first got it. I was wondering if anyone knew the amount of mileage the factory tires recommend before changing?

A squeezed a little more than 50K miles. They still weren't bald yet, but they needed replacing.

Even with rotations, I was only able to get 40k out of the OEM Goodyear RS-As on my 2006 base. Hoping to get 50k+ out of my Bridgestone Potenza G019s. They are off during winters, and I rotate them even more often than my Goodyears. Crossing fingers.
Steelies to the rescue.

Ask me in 20 years That is likely going to be the time when they will be wore out If it is anything like my '92 F-150 (46,000 miles and will be 20 yrs old this fall), DRYROT will force me to replace them no matter what the mileage is.

I bought my Vibe with about 33,000 miles and the original tires. I put new tires on at 38,000 miles.

I just passed 20k miles and today noticed they were looking a little thinner than I expected. Not sure how many 32nds though. S'all good! I am looking forward to replacing them.

my RSA's are at 20,000 miles and already showing wear in addition to just being terrible tires. i'm going to push them as far into next year as possible before winter hits, which should be somewhere between 35 and 40,000 miles.

I got 37000kms when I hit the wearbars... then the winters went on and the RS-A's went to the giant tire fire in the sky! I find it quite amusing that RS-A's come stock on the Challenger SRT8!

I also have a set of steelies w/snows. But I'd say I hit 40k on the GoodYears and 30k on my snows(not goodyear). They were never what I would call an "inspiring" tire"

Both 2006's still have the factory RSA's. Neptune over 47,000 and Frosty is a few thousand miles less. When I've gone for safety checks nobody has said anything, I've asked for opinions at oil changes and they insist they're "still good", but I just don't like how they're looking-there's no under/overinflation wear/no alignment wear, but TO ME, Neptune's treadwear is looking rather emaciated.
