How long did your original Bridgestone RE050s last?

[plop]

35000 out of mine rotated every 5000 or so

I got 47,000km out of the OEM tires. I get a wheel alighment + rotation every 10,000km, but most of my driving (85%+) is done on the hwy. I also run a little more pressure in my tires (about 40psi).

I'm on a set of Pirelli P-Zero Rosso now and have done about 30,000km on them so far.

Cheers,

I got 38 K out of 2 of mine, other 2 got bolts in them and replaced with Yoko's that were worn in no time, So I replaced all of them with same Potenzas as original. Cost $420each fitted from Jobsons Bridgestone.

I've got 24000 on mine, done 3000 myself, reckon i could get another 6 months with wheelspin, but conservatively probably 12000kms more left in em.

25,000 of the Bridgies

Currently up to 20,000kms on the Hankooks and they are pretty much stuffed.

seems tyre wear is better on the oem tyres. I am on my third set of tyres 2 oem and these crap ones i got with my rims. i got around 20k each set of them

I got 47500 out of mine, 50/50 highway/city

I'm just over 20,000ks on my 050's and I reckon, at best I'll get about another 10k out of them, that's gonna be a stretch tho...

Do probably 20% freeway driving, the rest around town.

I'm the second owner of my 6 MPS. When I bought it , it had 13,000 ks on the clock and the bridgestones were cactus. I changed them at 15,000 to Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s. I deliberated quite a bit as to whether I should stay with the Bridgestones but 13,000km was not good enough I thought.

I run the Eagles at 37 psi, and rotate them every service(10,000). The clock is at 47,000 atm and they are still going very well in terms of wear, not much wear is evident at all really !! I'm quite surprised.

To me they feel as grippy as the bridgestones in the dry, about the same tyre noise, and they are much better in the wet. The only thing I noticed that is worse is that they have a tendency to tramline if there is a particular type of wave or corrugation in the asphalt. It doesn't do it all the time and its very mild but its enough to notice. Overall I much prefer the Eagles and they were a bit cheaper too!!

Hey ToxicMPS I've got F1 GS-D3's too and so far after 10,000 km they have hardly worn (probably 15-20%) and I've been driving them similarly to the RE050A's which got 32,000km. I've also notice tramlining but getting used to it and haven't really noticed a change in grip, though we haven't had too many wet days in the last 8 months so will see how I go after winter. BTW
