how long do your tires last?

My car seems to go through tires like they were free, even the high mileage ones lasted a third of what they should have. I do rotate them every 10, 000km like I'm supposed to. Anybody else have the same problem?

How about it, how long do your tires last?

Re: how long do your tires last?

Depends on so many factors its not funny.

Type of tire, speed rating etc.

I got michelins that were guaranteed 50,000 miles - i got like 69,000 out of them before i finally switched them out, after 250 plus a miles a day 5 days week.

Re: how long do your tires last?

I had 130,000km rating GF goodrich tires, and they didn't make it to 30,000km before they were nearly totally bald. I drove pretty hard on those tires, but they were evenly worn, which makes me think that there was another factor at work here. ?

Re: how long do your tires last?

Hmm... It was done 18 months ago, but I think that when I had the muffler replaced, the muffler shop did a shitty job, and over time, a dent has formed in the passenger control rod. Maybe it is out again.

On that topic, the allignment shop charges $8 a tire for balancing. In your opinion, is this money well spent?
