GEN 2 How long do OE tires last?

Please post your odometer reading when you had to replace your tires.

I swapped out the BFGs for Goodyear Duratracs at 47,579 miles.

How long is a piece of string? All depends on your driving habits.

Clearly this guy is only ever going to starbucks and back so probably 60k miles assuming he doesn't hit a speed bump or curb to hard and knock it out of alignment:

Oh, come now. Tire manufacturers guarantee their products for only a certain number of miles. Everybody knows that it's the same as the date on a carton of milk, and you need to change out your tires no later than the manufacturer's guarantee. Why else would they do that???

(Oh, this is fun!)

Oh I thought that's what the date on the side wall was, after that date has passed you're supposed to replace them or risk killing yourself!

Or get food poisoning, which, of course, is much worse than suicide.
