Time to replace my Z-rated tires...you'll never guess how many miles

45K so far with some tread to spare! They're Pirelli P7000 Supersports 235/40/ZR18's. And yes, I drive them hard!






but not hard enough I guess.

How about everybody else? Anybody beat that with Z rated tires?

My Dunlop SP8000 sport, also Z-rated, have over 40K and 2 of them have at least 1/3 left. I am sure they will beat your Pirelli's.

Same here, SP8000 with 30K on them. Lots of tread left, and I drive em hard now and then as well. I can guess I'll put 50K on them before I replace them.

Great tire, a little noisy, but they stick like glue and do just fine in the rain. I take them off for winters.

I have about 8K on my kumbos and they will be dead in another 3K. Yes I beat them VERY hard... damn that decreasing radius offramp on the way to work that I drift everyday at about 60mph... and the autoX schools didn't help either
