How Many Miles Have Stock Potenza Tires Lasted You Guys?

Hi, 2k2 maxima 6sp here with 43,000 miles on it and stock potenza tires still. after 3 tire rotations 10,000 25,000 35,000 im finding the tires on my car to be EXTREMELY worn down - moreso on the front than on the rear.


How long has the stock tires lasted you guys?


What tires (and size) do you guyz reccomend replacing with if i want to keep the same rims but want better resistance to wear+tear and better traction

I'm still using the stock tires with 8800 miles on it. I plan to upgrade to better rims/tire when I hit 15000 miles though. If you do a search, in no time, you'll find that Michelin Pilot AS is the favorite tire to replace the stock.

wow, you're close to me. My '02 has just over 50k miles now and I'm still on the stock potenzas.. They're pretty close to bald now, but I think I've got another 5k on them in time for the new rims.
