It's recommended for 10K miles but I have 15K now and they still look ok. What's the max you guys ran on yours before buying new tires?

 

my fronts were gone at around 12K. but I never rotated them.

This was due mostly to 4 track days.

 

It all depends on the driver. Stock tires can last 5K miles or 20K miles.

 

I have 11k miles on mine and they are still fine. Probably not for long though because of auto-x's coming up.

B2 - who can't wait for his s-03s.

 

I am going on 21000 miles still looking good

 

I have almost 15k on mine. But I drive like a sissy.

 

21K? Dang. Acura's recommended miles are way off. My tires till look decent though I drive too conservative for my own good. i have 4 S0-3s sitting in my garage and they're itching to feel hot asphalt. but my tires still look pretty good. gotta wait then.

 

Mine was about 20k before I replaced them

 

The firs car went through the tires at ~8000 miles, the second car was ~12,000. This was without any racing with the tires...it's all because of the wonderful twisty roads that I drive.

i got a nail in one tire at 800 miles, so at 1k i had a new set of tires already, now i have about 32k on the car and am on my3rd set of tires, i drive hard, so i only expect 10k out of a tire.

 

10k, but I like to ride with them over inflated, which causes the center of the tire to wear out much quicker than the outer edges.

 

7k for mine and they were well gone. Very little highway driving.

 

Just pulled up on 23K. I'm getting it inspected on Monday, Dealer said last week that they will still pass. I'm planning on new ones soon though. I'm getting some wear on the inside edge of all 4 tires. Car is at stock height and stock alignment. Mostly highway driving.

 

First Set of RE010s - 18k (past the wear bars)

Second Set of RE010s - 10k (showing belts on both front, despite rotation every 2k)

First Set of RE730s - 17k and still going strong...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I drive this car harder and harder with each passing month. Considering I got 44% less milage out of the second set, I figure the relative treadwear rating of the RE730s must be more than double RE010s. I bought them right before the S-03s came out in 205/50ZR15 or I would have bought those...

 

I got just under 30k miles on my RE010s and that included 2 or 3 driving school and a few autocrosses as well. They werent even corded when I got rid of them..probably had another 2k left in them. My secret was a combination of VERY frequent rotations (every 1500 miles or so), always making sure the pressure was correct, and some good luck.

 

for rotations

 

damn ur all some ***** drivers lol 9,000 miles and pretty much well gone!!!

 

Recommended miles? I think all Acura is doing is getting it on record that they *might* wear out fast because they are soft and people drive them hard. They're not saying you have to replace them on any kind of mileage schedule.

My understanding is that this started with the NSX, which apparently liked to use up its specially designed, four unique part number, tires very quickly (were the originals also RE010?) -- a characteristic some NSX owners apparently had the nerve to complain about! The sticker on the 2002 NSX I saw the other day said the tread life might be significantly less than 10,000 miles (my ITR said 15k if I recall).

I don't know if any of that NSX story is true, but it seems credible and I like it anyway.

 

All true. The NSX comes from the factory with either the Bridgestone RE010 or the Yokohama A022H. Even without track usage or hard driving, the rear tires may be gone by 5000 miles (although that can be increased somewhat by adjusting the alignment). With track usage, they can be shot after 3000 miles. The front tires typically last over 10K miles though.

 

i had to replace my fronts at about 10k -but this was after 2 HPDEs and really the 2nd HPDE is what did them in- they were really chunked on the outside.
the 2 i had on the rears are still OK now at 18k but they're pretty bald- but no corded which is good enough fro me

Blew a tire at 27K, still have the back ones on at 31K, damn I need to change them.

 

my fronts had the cords showing on the inner edge of both front tires at about 12,000 miles. now that i think about it, i should probably rotate my kumhos pretty soon...

 

Thanks guys for all the replies. It sounds like the stock tires can vary btwn +/- 5 or 7K to +/- 20s. Lots of variation. I suspected a wide range and this confirmed it.
