15.6K; I think the record holder around here is ~22k. Highway miles may give you even longer........

But they are a fairly soft tire; anybody that wants 80k out of a set of tires doesn't need to be in a GS anyway.

Default RE030 Mileage

I just bought a 2001 GS430 with 23,000 miles and it still has the original Potenzas, still have some tread, but about ready to replace.

I'm one of those guys that had about 22K on mine and could have squeezed out more, but I saw the light, I realized how bad these RE030s are or maybe how many better tires there were and I sprung for the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S which has made me fall in love with my car all over again (Quieter, smoother, handles just as good or better for an All Season tire compared to the summer tires). Make the change as soon as you can!
