I just turned 101000 miles on my 2013 civic and still have the original brakes! Has this ever happened to anyone else??? I also just replace the original tires at 98,000 miles. I know I used the car for commuting purposes, but still thats pretty incredible... Any Comments?

 

<p>Are you the first owner of the car? &nbsp;101000 miles seems a little high but if for real it's impressive.</p><p>Considering I get maybe 30k out of mine but I do track the car also.</p>

 

Yes. I am the original purchaser. Bought her in March of 2013 and my job was a 91 mile one-way trip. Made that trip for 2 years before I moved back north. All I did was regular oil changes and tire rotations...
Makes me a believer in Honda quality that's for sure...

 

When I worked at a tire shop, some businessman came in for his first set of tyres with his 100k mile corvette (C5) that he used for commuting.

That was crazy.

I can believe 100k miles on a civic, though that is uncommon. Good job on the upkeep, OP.

 

what be these 100k tires?!? :hmmm:

 

100k makes sense given its long haul miles. My brakes made it about that far and I did all highway.

 

A friend of mine's mother hit around that number on a SUBURBAN! It was pretty unbelievable. We kept calling BS but it was true.

 

Now you want high mileage tires guaranteed?... Michelin HydroEdge, I had that tire a while back and drove the dog out of them and still got 95,000 out of them, that's what they're rated for!!!

 

You can run tires a lot longer in the desert than you can in places with lots of rain and/or snow.

A tire still works great at 4/32" tread if you barely ever drive through anything but dry ground. Hell...a bald tire works better on dry ground than a treaded one, all things being equal.

In the wild wild midwest, people usually replace tires around 5/32" or 4/32". Tire isn't totally worn out (2/32"), but its not worth keeping anymore after 4/32", unless you're going into a "dry" summer. "Dry" meaning it only torrentially downpours once every 4 days instead of everyday.

I need to move back to the desert :'(

 

That's nice my 2011 lx hit 30k it needed front brakes. When I picked the car up used with 21k I made the dealer put new tires on. The oem good year set was done. I wish I could get those things to last more then 2 years.
