I never thought they would last much over 10K. Glad you got good mileage, as I don't want to buy too many replacements.

I'm glad you showed this Jimman. It helps to dispel the myth about the Z51 Eagle F1 supercar tires not lasting long.

Wow, that's the best I've seen. Do you drive a lot of freeway miles? What pressure do you use?

Had been running 30 cold for half their life but changed to 29 front and 28 rear.

We do a lot of Corvette runs in the mountains on weekends, spirited runs. About 50-50 on highway vs city. At least one redline a day but not 1st gear stuff with burnouts.

Great Wear. Like most of us your fronts will be gone before the rears. A first for me on my Vettes.

aaaaa

My rears don't look that good with 4500 on them. Of course I spin them every chance I get

Thank you very much for this post. I thought I was missing something about the wear bars in my tires, I've got 18K miles and they look better than yours. I was going to replace mine because I didn't believe anyone else got that much mileage from the Z51 tires (thinking I must have missed some really shallow wear bars). I keep mine at 29-30 psi cold and adjust often based on temp changes. I drive about 500 miles per week in mixed traffic, average speed is around 32 mph. I don't light up my back tires for fun, TC and AH get me everywhere I need to be on the highway.

You just saved me $1500, time for some new outriggers

It's great to know that the Supercar tires will deliver the miles.

not driving real hard thats for sure! Good to see they can hold up with the right alignment i am saving my comp grey wheels with the f1's on them for when i am going on long trips where i may not need the traction so much

thanks for the pics

jimman

I wait for the key words, "RunCraps" then make an offer. Just got a set of 4 brand new F1's for 850 delivered. To be perfectly honest, love these tires, predictable, stick good and no flat worries.

rmitchell242

problem with them is that once u start modding they dont hold power

corner as good as alot of vette drives would need though

got 11,800 from my OEMs, replaced them with BFG KDW2s and like the results. How did you get 30K? I've been driving vettes since 1993 and have never gotten more than 12k! Most of my driving is city driving, I know this driving is harder on the tires than long distance driving, but.............

I change my tires before they hit the wear bars,they look like a hydroplane accident waiting to happen.

Buffy

How'd you do that? I'm looking at about 14-16K front and 18-20K rear, based on wear to date. And I've been taking it easy on them!

How do you drive a vette without smokin the rubber?

jimman

After many years of smoking tires to show off to the girls, which didn't work by the way and on a good day would only knock off about 20 minutes of foreplay, decided to be stealth, more fun.

I believe alignment has been a problem along with tire pressure. I got 67,000 on my 02’s OEM’s.

jimman

I hear ya, have a new set to go on. Nice about CA not much of any rain and one gets a nice fish tail on the 2nd gear shift.

Wish I could have gotten even half the milage you got,the roads where I live are nothing but curves and some of the back roads have pavement that's like 24 grit sandpaper.I got 5k out of my z51 tires ,looks like I'll get around 12k that out of my Falken 451 non run-flats still not great.
