Default How many miles do your tires last?

How many miles did your Bridgestone Potenzas last? I’m at 10k and down to 3/32 on the inner tread. Camber definitely increases wear but still seems pretty soon considering only some spirited driving. I had been running near 35 psi, but started to get closer to lower 30’s recently before reinflated

I'm at 11600 miles and front right tire still shows 9/32 inner and outer tread. Both rear tires are slightly below 8/32.

No spirited driving on curves, mostly straight line and a few tire spins in wet / snowy weather.

I think mine made it 11k miles before the inside was gone.

I think I'm just under 9k miles, and I have 9/32 up front, 7/32 in the rear

I just got a service done and I'm at 3 or 4/32 on all 4 corners on the outer and inner edges. Makes me wonder if the recommended pressures are too low since my outers were equal to the inners and all 4 corners were so consistent with each other. I'm at 8500 miles and I don't even drive that aggressively (at least I don't think I do . Since I live in a desert and the middle tread is still at like 9/32 I'm going to try to make it to the next service at around 11k before getting new tires.

I booted the Bridgestones at 7k miles for PS4S tires. I do not remember the depth, I just couldn’t deal with the terrible performance. At 41K miles, my PS4S’ are consistently replaced every 15 months or 15K miles. My car is 100% stock and I have not experienced the inner tire wear. I keep the psi at 36lbs all around and they’re rebalanced (along with an alignment ) twice a year.

I'm on the original rear tires. Front tires are mismatched due to flats at various times. I now have 21k miles and at my 20k service the tech said I should get new rear tires in between now and the next service. So they've lasted about 20k miles. I'm on Swift springs, since 3000 miles.

Toe is the culprit not camber...control arm bushings are too soft

RF is a Bridgestone Turanza with 11k miles, LF is a Conti Extreme Contact Sport with 7k miles, and rears are the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas with 21k miles. It's never felt unsafe because I don't push the car to the limit, but I'll probably replace all 4 soon with Michelin PS4 to see what all the fuss is about.

i thought camber is why the rear tire insides prematurely wear down?

I'm curious. You are in MD, do you have AS tires to run the car in the winter? If so, which tire brand / model? I am interested in opinions on tires for the winter. I am in MA.

I've got over 13k miles on my Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's. I still have 7/32" in the front and about 5/32" or 6/32" in the rear, with slightly lower tread on the inner edge than the outer. Front tires seem to be wearing pretty evenly laterally so far.
