Which tires to replace stock?
Kind of funny seeing people commenting on the mileage I've gotten out of these stock tires. My previous two cars were a B6 Audi S4 6MT and a Lexus GS430 L-Tuned, and I've pretty much gotten 15K-17K miles max out of the rubber on those cars, so I'm as surprised as anyone! And it's not like I baby my car...I drive very aggressively, though I don't really throw the back end around anymore (not because it's not fun; because I have twins now and can't be quite as...adventurous!). I generally assume that Z-rated tires are going to get mid-teens, so I'm just enjoying the overage!
I'm just replacing my Pilot Super Sports now. I have 16k miles on them which is about what I got out of the factory Bridgestones. They do come with a warranty, but it's mostly crap. Whenever you put them on a car with staggered fitment, the warranty goes from 30K miles to 15K miles. The only reason I am getting any warranty benefit at all is because the fronts are chunking and that is considered a defect. Don't get me wrong, I have loved the tires. They perform great and look great as well. It also helps that they are cheaper than the factory tires. Just don't be surprised when you only get 15K to 20K out of them and the warranty does nothing.
