What was the most mileage you got out of the OEM supercar tires? I so far have 14,100 miles and there half way worn.

8K,Rears almost fully worn. Fronts half way. No burnouts or track

I have about 18,000 on mine and there is about 40% left on the rear and 75% left on the front. I don't do burn outs either.

Just replaced mine at about 36,000. Replaced them with a set of Michelin GS2 ZP's. Very little road noise, better ride, and much stickier. Wear out the OEM Supercars as soon as possible.

44,650 on my 05...replaced them this weekend...

Are you talking about the Z51 tires?

love my ZP's. What GM should use onall Vetts.

Did I click on the Honda forum by mistake?? Maximizing tire wear isn't a priority to most vette drivers.....Don't try and make your tires last longer....take your car out and have Fun with it.

I am a new Z51 owner, and I like the LOOK of the tires,,, so many other tires make the car look dumpy IMO. I have to see how the performance is though. I think the GY's look sharp...

yes, I was just wondering what kind of mileage people were getting with these tires.

Anecdotally, when I was test driving Z51s a few years ago, it seemed like the three I drove had far greater wear than the F55s I tested, given similar mileage. I'm sure, like any tires, it all depends on the driver, his habits, the car they are on, and environmental factors.

A friend replaced his front Z51 Supercar tire at about 30k, the rears have nearly 35k miles and still 3/32" or more tread remaining.

Me, I get about 20k out of a set. Fronts wear out first but rears are pretty far gone by then also.

12000 miles and the rears are pretty well worn for the obvious reasons, but the front still have 35 percent probably. I'm going to try to put another 2k miles on them before the rainy season and then I have a set of yokohamas stacked up in the garage I really want to try out. I have also had two 15 minute track sessions on this set as well.

I could see a tea-totler getting 18-20k out of the Z51 supercars, but I think 15k would be about average. If your rears last as long as your front tires, you are not pushing the loud pedal to the floor often enough.

I had to replace my Z51 SC tires when they were at 32K miles. Discovered the insides of the fronts were trashed badly thanks to the factory alignment. I put on Kumos at the time and they are still on with 66k miles on them and although they'll need replacing next spring or so, they are still good.

VET4LES

My rear Z51 tires have 27,000 miles on them and should be good for another 5,000.

HOXXOH

Are you for real? You have 98K on an '07 which is about 2K/month and you're thinking in 6 months (another 12K) you'll replace the tires that will have 78K on them by then? Doesn't the car get hard to handle when the rubber is all gone and the steel belts slide around?

Mike's Sweet 19

Presently have 29k+ on the fronts and 19k on the rear. Will have to replace the fronts soon but due to inside tread wear from the negative camber GM put in the alignment to give superior handling.
I changed the air pressure in all four tires to 33lbs to give more ceven wear across the tire face.
Will go to michelin sport A/S ZP with 500 thread wear. Tires are getting way expensive and these should last double the GY supercar's.
Hope this helps.

08 Z51 with 19K rear 80% worn, fronts 50%.

Magneson

you all did better than me. I replaced the rears at 13,500. I like the throttle.
