How long do Potenza s03s last? im brain dead right now. how do they rate the tires for wear?

 

10-12k

 

They could last a long time depending on how you drive. I expect mine to reach at least 20k.

 

don't know how long their suppose to last. but i love mine in da summer. they suck in da winter time!!

I'd say around 20K also

 

No one buys Potenza s03s to conserve them. All depends on how you treat them. Better break in those nice new s03s Goose!

 

all depends on your suspension set up and how hard you drive it

 

I barely got 12K out of mine, and I drive fairly conservatively.

 

Two years of several track events each summer, and still look almost new with a little tread depth loss on the edges (still past lincoln's head on a penny). Only used at the events, I have less then 1,000 street miles on them (mostly break in). They should last around 20,000 under normal to hard driving conditions.

 

The treadwear rating for the Potenza S-03 is 220, compared with 140 for the stock Potenza RE010. So you should expect 57 percent more miles than on a set of RE010.

I've currently got 19K miles on my (properly-inflated, periodically rotated, conservatively driven) RE010 and there's plenty of tread left - I'm expecting 25-30K miles before they reach the treadwear indicator bars. Based on the treadwear ratings, that translates to 39-47K miles on a set of S-03.

Of course, if you only get 13K miles on a set of RE010, that translates to 20K miles on the S-03...

I got over 40k on mine.

 

I have about 20k miles on my set, that's with one track event, many auto-x events, and a lot of street miles.

Oh and to add to that, I believe that was with 2 track events (at least one though), a number of autocrosses and a few burnouts, j turns, etc...

 

The lady I bought my car from got 30K out of the Re-10's... They were on the verge of showing belts though. Women {jk}

i got around same milage out of s03's.. rolling on kumho ecsta mx - similar to s03's for less money.

 

I don't see how people get 30k+ miles out of tires on an ITR. I've got 42k on the clock and just worn through the FOURTH set of tires. Two set of RE010's, one set of P7000's, and one set of Azeni's. Doesn't matter what tires are on the car, I'm getting on about 10k out of them. Guess I just drive too hard.

None of the tires you listed are great for mileage. With the sole exception of S-03's I get 10-12k out of tires.

S-03's have much better tread life than any of those tires.

 

I have about 11K on mine and still have at least 75% left.

Agreed. It all depends on how you drive the car.

 

How do they compare with Goodyear F1 GS-D3's as far as wear is concerned?

I had F1's on my car this summer and I got 13k km's (8k miles) out of them.

Roads around here are very twisty with lots of turns, a straight of more than a km is not too common, add to that the fact that I have a rather large heavy right foot and you have my situation. Just wondering if I might give the Potenza's a try next year, pricing is about the same so why not.

I don't get it.

I used to get 20K easily out of the old Yokohama AVSis, which had a treadwear rating of 160, but my S03s got worn out in a hurry. And I don't put a lot of hard use on my street tires. I wish I had gotten more life out of them since they were so good in the wet.

Depends on how much you e-brake burnout.
