Z51 Tire Mileage
Well after 14 years with my C5 I'm moving up to a C7.
Just curious as to what kind of miles Z51 owners (who don't track their cars) are getting out of the tires.

22k miles and nearing the end of their life. For street use, based on my findings and that of other members, it seems like 20-25k miles is pretty typical for the Z51 Michelins.

I went from a 2001 C5 to a '17 C7 Z51. Just shy of 20K on the OEM tires and looking like I should be able to get as much as 10K more out of them. Of course a lot depends on how you drive it.

I went from a 2001 C-5 to a 2015 C7-Z06 and blew through a set of tires in 10,000 miles

I'm at 9000 in 2 1/2 years, no track or HPDE time, and see the tread going in a hurry. I don't expect to get more than 15,000 miles. Will likely get less.

2014 Z51 delivered 12/23/13. Just replaced original tires. I got a little over 33,000 on them. No tracking and a lot of interstate miles.

2015 Z51 'vert here....I've got 8000 on mine. They aren't looking too good at this point. I hope to get 12k out of this set-should get more out of the next set, as I wasn't the original owner....

I posed this question last year. Most responses were between 10k and 20k miles. A few 30k and one 40k. At about $1500 per set, I hope to get a minimum of 30k on my daily driver which should cover me for 2 years.
