Some of my tires can make it to 31, but I think one of them is going to need changing before then. 31 isn't really much of a shocker. The guy that said 48? Yeah, that's over double the treadlife rating for these things, if I recall correctly.

My stock PZeros lasted about 10k miles... I drive.hard and I'm.sure the florida heat didn't help, I put the Conti DWS and I'm sooo happy I did... 10k miles and they still look brand new!! Theyre definately quieter and great in the rain... Little thicker but they look great... Highly.recommended!! 275s on the front and 315s in the rear

Humm on my ride I got about 27,000 and that pushed it!! It's my daily driver, town and hwy. When I knew I had to replace my tires I knew it wdnt be for stock ones! So I kicked it up a notch and got what I wanted.

I have auto crossed once with the conti's and they do hold very well but there is some side wall flex. Not too noticable but once they rack up some miles they feel great. One thing the conti's are awsome for is thier superior handling in the rain or wet road conditions. I literally try to find standing water to see I can hydro plain but you just cant. The conti's take a little more time to get heat in them as the pirellis take less time to heat up. Overall very good tire. Well at least for me.

Did you get the 295/40 ?

I'd agree with everything here.

At first I noticed they had more sidewall play than the P-Zero's, but after a while the firmed up and ride great. I put 30k on the P-Zero's.
