They have a 140 UTQG rating... Most folks don't get more than 25K out of em!
And that is high... Call Bridgestone... Thats gotta be a record...LOL

I'm at ~30,300 miles and I'm in need for some new tires soon. To be honest, my backs are still good for another 5-10K, but the inside of my fronts are pretty bad. I lowered my car and didn't get an alignment for a month (got busy and lazy), so that definitely didn't help my cause.

Journey's do not have a red "S" on the badge. (Sorry, off-topic on my own thread)
^^^^ Wrong.

Out of stock S tires I got 7 thousand out of the fronts and at 12 thousand my rears had about a centimeter wide strip of metal showing because it was so worn.

(Caution: Results are not typical)

I took it in this week to have the muffler replaced for the rattle, and the checklist the dealer gave back said I had 7/32 on the front and 6/32 on the rear on the original 19'' tires. I have 29,700 miles on it.

Sitting at 25.5 k and just ordered new shoes TODAY. I am planning finishing off what's left of the bridgestones at an upcoming trackday then switching them out, so most likely 26-27k total.

BTW if anyone needs tires, you can buy the hankook ventus v12s for $670 shipped. $800 at Discount tire direct - 10% bing cash back - $50 hankook rebate (must purchase by may 31st.)

I have 8/32's left at 14,500 which should get me somewhere around 28K. Well except for one of the rears I had to replace recently because of a huge screw I picked up on the highway. It is almost new.

just took them off at 18500 2 days ago, they probably had another 5k of life in them but the noise was starting to get to me.

For decent performance tire they actually last pretty long. they're off my car now, but I've got about 10k on my stock wheels and tires with about 8/32 left. Those should last me quite a while, especially as an extra set of wheels and tires.

Guy at my dads works has a G with 35k on his car and still on his stock set. He might have to replace the back soon because he loves doing burn outs in the parking lot.
