New Tires After 20k!!!

[Haxx]

ok well i have about 20k miles on my xB and i ALREADY need new tires. anyone else have this problem? i have the stock 185/15r

[mafiamike]

I don't think anyone else has gone that far on stock tires.

[aZepolyn]

Given my financial situation I hope to be able to go that far lol ... but yea, I didn't rotate until almost 10k, so I have a pair of pretty worn tires, and a pair of so-free-so-clean tires. I think I'm at 12k now, and with better driving practices, mostly because of gas prices, it looks like the two good tires may hold up, but I'm still constantly checking the iffy ones

and yea, what Mike said, I don't think I know an xB that's gone that far on stock tires. I know some tC's that have, but different story, I'm probably going to be one of them myself.

Tread life depends on the tire and how you drive. What kind of tires are they? "Stock xB tires" doesn't give me anything :P

[dfwaltima]

threadlike in the xB tires i think is somewhere in the 300 to 400's. Now depending on how you drive it determines the life to the tire, you like to take turns at fairly good speed, dont rotate them enough, etc.

mafiamike- i still have the stock wheels(well the upgrade ones) and im woried more about performance right now
nick-i cant remember what brand they are at the moment (never really payed attention ill get that info on my next break im at work right now)
dfwaltima-i do a few brunouts everynow and then, but what i dont get is my friend just sits and smokes his tires and hes had his tires for 60k miles atleast. he does have diferent tires but i still dont get it.

k they are the goodyear 185/60R/15

[baker]

[um_lunchbox]

Haxx .. wasn't that your box I saw winning the burnout contest the other day ?

Seriously though, thats not good, I got 36K out of my pirelli's and they are 19".

[Haxx]

well i just got new tires, Big O said i was getting coopers but they gave me like starfire or something like that, i was kind of mad about that considering i went at 11:30 am and they had to wait for a truck from the warehouse and the tires didnt get there till 4:30!!!!
:( these tires suck ass!!! i was getting better traction with 3 bald goodyears and 1 spare!!

tC 18's Pirellis....i have 26k-27k and its time to get new ones but given that way i drive and only ONE rotation....i think i did damn good...definitely going with these tires again!!!

[THansenite]

I am over 26,000 and still on the stock 18'' Yoko's with only one rotation. I am needing some new tires pretty bad though. I am pretty happy with how long they lasted considering how soft of a tire they are.

[yellow_sub]

man if i get 20,000 mile out of my tires i'll be happy. LOL

That's a bit of negative camber I see there, yeah ... no chance ..

I am up to 17K on my tC with the stock yokos. I ALMOST need new tires, but i don't plan on waiting until they're bare. since they are getting low, I am gonna put on some better ones sooner - i'm excited to do so anyway!

[DeeztC]

I have 29000 on my tC and its about time to get new tires also...i have the yokohama all weather z rated tires on it...

[Intimidator]

Just past 26k on my 15" factory stock steelies. I think it's the walmart hubcaps that inproved my treadlife.....LOL

[fsu1dolfan]

Just got new rubbers....i wanted the Pirellis but $129 per tire was the best i could find.....so i got Nexen N300's ($80 per tire) and i must say very impressed with them!!!! Great in rain!!! in case your curious they are AA rated and 340 treadware....good stuff
