How many miles did you get out of your tires?

What tires? There's a lot of different ones. :D

12-15k is about normal for some super sticky summer tires. It's pretty crap for all seasons. Even then there are variations within a category based on design and materials. The manufacture listed mileage is a warranty period, not a wear guideline as well.

And of course vastly depends on how you drive. I got about 17k out of the factory All Season Pirelli's on the GTI, but it was tracked heavily and they died more from heat damage than treadwear. LMAO

First of all, how come I see so many IP addresses on your post?

Google say 50k miles, but I generally replace my tires every 3 to 4 years or when I notice they wear out. In most cases, they have more than 15k on them. I use two different sets of tires annually. At this time, I have Michelin Xi3, since it's winter. I plan to get a new set on 4wheelonline in a few months as this is the 4th season that I run the said model.
