Default how many miles have yall driven on a set of tires.

I just wanted to know an average amount of miles you guys put on the tires when it comes to the time to replace the tires.

Got the GS in July of 2014, currently at 27,604 on the stock tires it came with. I don't drive aggressive at all. Still looks like I can rack another 1k more miles.

Mine came with dunlop tires and hopefully i can get like 40k to 50k. I've seen some people with the same tires as me get up to 40k to 50k.

I have 17,000 on the Bridgestone Potenzas that came stock. Look like I will be able to get 25-30k out of them depending on how I drive (I bought the car at 14,500), which is a shame because I really want to get the Michelin A/S 3+ instead. Will have to drive aggressively during the next year to replace before next winter.

Original Dunlop SP that were on my car when I picked it up were shoot and needed replacement at 24k miles. That was the same time I upgraded to my 20" wheels and tires. This set should last me close to 25-30k miles. Which sucks cuz the tires have a 60k mile warranty. So they will most likely prorate them and I'll get a different set. I'm surprised how quickly the tires wear out on the GS compared to my other vehicles.

21,000 miles so far with good tread remaining. They are getting a bit noisy though. Probably will replace the Dunlops with Michelin Pilot Sports when the noise becomes unbearable.

They get too noisy for me and I have to replace them. I've got about 700 miles now on mine and they (Dunlops) had 41 when I bought the car. I'm very interested to see how many miles I get before they're too noisy versus how much tread will be left. When I had my IS, I think I replaced tires around 25k miles simply because they were too loud for me.

I got about 30K on mine before they started to go bald, and had to replace them ASAP as I was losing traction all over the place!

With performance summer tires I typically get 20-30k miles. On a few occasions I had to replace around 15k simply because the noise became unbearable.

I am real sensitive to noise. I have been in friend's cars who have terrible noisy tires and when I suggest they replace the tires, and when do, they are amazed at the sound level and ride difference.

If you are using all-season I would suspect you should get at least 30-40k miles because of the different tread compounds.

If you look at the tire warranty, they will usually say that it will be halved if the tires are on a car that has a staggered setup and cannot be rotated. Not sure if your car is RWD or AWD.

On my previous GS350s, the Bridgestones (on 2013) had to be replaced around 20K miles, and they were very loud and lost traction very easily. The Dunlops (on 2015) are similar to the Bridgestones, and had to be replaced around 25K miles. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport were the best for this car (changed to on 2013) and Lexus should have put these on at the factory. They had pretty good tread life (8K miles after changing and they were still pretty new), quiet and smoother ride, excellent grip (even in the wet). Too bad my 2017 came with the Dunlops again. I'm predicting that they'll need to be swapped around 25K miles again.
