How many miles can I expect from those tires with those size, um, keep in mind the stock Goodyear, eagle RS-A 215/55R16 lasted me for 41,000.

They are still on the car, I still got stock tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should get an award for that, LOL.

My first set went about 50k. I could have driven more but I wanted to try out Azenis 115s.

BIG mistake.. shoulda kept the 512s on the car. The ST-115 are the worst tires I've ever used!

they're quiet and stick well, but they don't last very long at all and they overheat very quickly if you take them to the track.
here's 10 minutes on a roadcourse for ya:

I got a whole 9000 miles out of them. mounted in february this year, already had to replace them in August.

STAY AWAY!

I'm pretty happy w/ them actually. They don't last as long as 512s but definitely better grip during summer time. I need to replace these now since I started to hydroplane. I'll probably go back to my favorite tires........Nittos.

the tread wear on both tires are 360 so they should wear around the same. The 512s are a good all around wet/dry tire while the st115 is more of a sport tire with luxury specifications. On a side note, the 512's in that size are actually backorderd for a while so you may not be able to find them until the end of the month. Good luck all the same.
