Mileage Check - Anyone replace their tires?
I have 12k miles on the current tires and they seem like they should last to 20k miles or so. Anyone replace their tires due to wear? If so, how many miles did you get and what did you replace them with.

12K miles on stock Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. Enough tread for 25K.
I will change come early summer time at roughly 20K-21K miles when I get my 19'' wheels. These tires have been great...probably more the 350.

I have 20k and they still have plenty of tread, but 80% of my miles are highway miles. Honestly I can probabaly get 40k out of them, since I'm almost always on the interstate.

I've got 10k miles on mine, and I'd say they've got another comfortable 10k to go. 40k... forget it. I drive 95% highway as well.

And to clarify, you have the OEM 18" wheels with Dunlop Z rated rubber on them? If so, I'd be absolutely amazed if you managed 40k miles on them.

Yes they're on the stock Dunlop 18's aired up to 35 up front and 40 in the rear.
I must drive like a grandma then, compared to the kind of wear you guys are getting.
Honesty, I drive the car pretty hard in stop and go traffic, too.
Maybe I got a miracle set of tires.

The driving experience between the two are about the same. Keep in mind I'm not the most agressive driver. I mostly bought the Contis because they had a high treadwear rating and were cheaper.
