Hey,

I'm looking into buying these for my daily driven hatch. How long have they lasted you? What kind of driving do you do?

Thanks,

George

 

30K miles...97% highway

 

Anyone else?

 

the fronts would probably last for 10-15k with 225-300whp and some good pulls every day. considering azenis last less than 5 in many cases.

I'm at a little over 10K now. Looks like it'll go another 5K for me.

 

O, Ok, so these are pretty comparable to Azenis. I'm looking for a tire that'll last me a year daily driving. Any input on the Bridgestone Potenza S-03's?

 

you cant have stick and get tread life

i got about 12-15 on my ES100 with daily driving and one day@ Buttonwillow

 

Driving styles and habits play a role in tire longevity.

Alignments significantly help out as well. The last thing you want to do when you buy tires is to not check the alignment and MAINTAIN the alignment.

 

My AVS' lasted about 9 months on my Subaru.. I probably could have driven lightly on them for another month or two.

They went through 1 track day at Buttonwillow, 3-4 rally crosses and your normal daily driving (I commute approximately 40-60 miles a day during the weekday). Semi-aggressive driving, but nothing outrageous.

Agreed. I always get my car aligned at West End Alignment in Gardena. AWD's differentials are very sensitive to alignment, differences in tire pressure, etc.

my es100's lasted me 6 months mainly all freeway miles with occasional hard driving.

 

10k still in good shape!
mine are for sale, check sig

 

my back es100s have about 2/3 before the wear indicator after 8k so I guess around 24k.....the fronts are another story

 

Only had one season.
About 5k and still looks like brand new tires.
Probably will last another 10k for sure..

 

So far, I've got about 16K miles on my GS-R and they still have tons of tread depth. I'm betting they go at least 30K, maybe a lot more.

 

Mine lasted 20-25k of hard daily driving. I took them down to the wear indicators.

 

yep, 20K to 25K is what we'd expect

 

I loved these tires on my g35!!!
