How long have your OEM tires lasted?

[Money]

Mine were under 2000 miles when I got my new rims. So I didn't vote.

[southpawboston]

the stock mickies, while not the stickiest, have at least lasted pretty long. i'm at 32k miles and i will probably need new tires before 35k.

[blupupher]

I am at 18,000 on my OEM Michelins, and they seem to be wearing OK. I would guess I will get about 30-35k out of them.

edit:
Well, I am at 30k and still 1/2 the tread is left.

[mrhoaf]

I got about 30k out of them, which was a year and a couple months for me..... They all had to be replaced at once, but at least they all wore evenly.....


then I got 35k-40k out of 2 sets (each) of Yokahama Avid Tourings.....

[oregun]

I got 30k out of the michelins. They weren't bald, but I don't like them to get that bad before changing them.

[Jlivan]

I still have my OEM michelins!
I have around 29k right now, so from everyone's answers it looks like I would need to change them around 35-40 miles.

[tuner]

Mine didn't even last 20k. I know my car needs to be aligned though.

[BlackElantraGT]

My stock Michelins MXV4 lasted more than 45K miles. The tires were properly rotated and balanced every 6000-7500 miles, so that could possibly be why they lasted that long.

Edit: These tires were on the car the whole time since I do not need winter tires.

[VTElantra]

I have I guess the stock Michelin tires and I am still running on them and the car has almost 22,000 miles. Also are people taking in consideration that they dont run there stocker all seasons in the winter, if you happen to live where is snows?

[rckozma]

I never had OEM, so I guess I can't vote. When I bought my car the dealer had already put 17" aftermarket rims and tires on it. Although what is on my car now is not the same ones (long story, but they still paid for them). But on my aftermarket setup I have 10,000 so far (2 1/2 years old).

[BlackElantraGT]

10K for 2 1/2 years? Wow you hardly drive!!

[rckozma]

10K for 2 1/2 years? Wow you hardly drive!!

In the last year I have put 60,000 on my company van. I drive more in a year than most people drive in 5 years. My car just never sees any road time, I am either in the company van or our Suburban.

[BlackElantraGT]

That explains the really low mileage.

[DocRxGLS]

Stock Michelins coming up on 31K, and they are getting changed on Tues / Wed this week.

[redgum]

25k miles on Kumho and they were down to the wear indicator, 10k miles on the winter (will go another 10k) and now 5k on the proxes 4. Too early to tell how long they'll last.

[evan938]

12k on stock michelins

[Mr. Dan]

I've had my car just under two years now and I've got 11.3k KM on it. The Kumhos it came with lasted until early spring of this year before I replaced them. I thought they sucked. If I was 80 years old and poor, I might have thought they were okay, but for me they were totally inadequate and I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.

[slvrsleeper]

Got rid of the stock tires after a particularly hair-raising hydroplaning incident on the interstate at about 23,000 I have had Continentals on ever since and get about 25K to a set.

[hyunelan2]

I can't really pick any option. I have 40,000ish on the car, but only about 25-30K of those miles are on the OEMers, because I have summer wheels/tires. My OEM tires still look fine though, and I've had fewer problems with them than with my Hankooks (only 1 flat on the Hankook). I expect to get at least 2 more winters out of the OEMs before thinking about replacing them. I run them from Nov 1 - Mar 31.

[Steve]

I bought my car in Feb 2004 and had to buy new tires in August 2004. I think I had about 22k miles on them, 90% highway commuting. They were bald, past the wearbars, the sidewalls were scuffed, chipped and cut, not too mention that they were horrible handling tires, my cheap snow tires handle as well as they did. For the most part I expect to get one season out of summer tires, if I get more than I wasn't driving right.

[XTRAWLD]

Hmmm I haven't changed them yet and prolly won't for another 2 years. I change them with the seasons so these Michelin's are lasting forever.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I sold my michelins at 9000 miles. Run my Nitto's the first full winter and about 33k miles since. Time for a change. At the stealership we used to see about 25-30k miles on a set of the MXV4 plus tires. I always thought they sucked in the rain, sucked in the snow and were bad in the summer.

[blupupher]

...I always thought they sucked in the rain, sucked in the snow and were bad in the summer.
I really have not had any problem in the rain, but I don't drive it hard. Same with summer. No experience with snow.

[SuperGLS]

Thanks for the member who suggested this one.

Keep them coming everyone.

[elantra2570]

All four of my stock Michelin tires were past the wear bars at only 18,000 miles. That was after rotating them every 5,000 miles and never doing a burnout. I now have Kumho Ecsta HP4s cause I didn't have a lot of money ($233 w/shipping and installation) and I have been happy with them so far, but I was absolutely not impressed with the factory Michelins the car came with.

How long have your OEM tires lasted?
I still have my OEM tires but I had a nail in one of them so at 57000Kms around 35K Miles I think I can still go with them.
