Default Bridgestone S03 treadlife?

Anyone out there (Brandon, etc.) know what the Bridgestone S03's treadlife should be? I couldn't find anything via search. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick

if you can get them to even camber than they will last a long time before the noise starts i say 10-15k mayb more. but under negative camber they will not hold up very long..

SO-3s tread life is rated at 220. They do not last long at all, I had SO-3 on my front wheels that's for sale and they are worn out, compare to the rears are Dunlop 9000 are almost brand new still.

Thanks for the feedback. What does a treadlife of 220 indicate?

220 is a semi arbitrary number and it's hard to compare it between manufacturers. But 15-20K is about right as others have said.
