How many miles did you get out of your stock tires?

Sup guys. Just wanted to get an idea when you guys bought new tires. I have a 2008 Sport 6MT with almost 17K miles. I'm a bit surprised that I have to get new tires soon. What mileage were you guys at when you bought new ones? How long are the stock Bridgestones supposed to last? Thanks for the help.

41K miles on stock tires granted i can't hear myself think due to the tire noise, but just been too busy to get new ones. probably do it around 45K miles.

Really? On the Bridgestone Potenzas? Really??? Those things must be bald
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

We bought our 2008 used in September 2009 (16k miles). It had Dunlops on and two were just about shot and the other two maybe 10k miles left. Ran them the rest of the summer, bought Blizzaks for the winter and put 4 Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions on this Spring. Was not impressed with the the tread left on the Dunlops but it was also apparent they had not been rotated (Journey model, same size all around.)

Callaway. I'm confused. How can your sig say that you have a G37S "Journey" and then Sport?

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