Wow - Just 10.8k on P Zeros

The fronts are fine but the rears are out of tread. I don't drive it hard and have gone down the strip 6 times to see how it would run. The wear is even so it's not an alignment problem. I don't do burnouts. Do manual trans cars wear them out faster?

I have an LS3 and just replaced my stock pirellis at 28k miles. What do you keep your tire pressure at? What was wear pattern like?

I've been keeping the pressures 36 PSI at all corners. It's the rear tires and the pattern is even across the tire. I haven't driven with soft compound tires before (rated @ 200), maybe they're slipping and I don't know it upon acceleration? Could it be the hard concrete roads in Michigan?

Maybe the colder weather? I do not drive mine easy at all, lol. Shocked they lasted me 28k.

My backs are pretty much shot at 6700 miles. I am also supercharged and have some fun sometimes.

My rears have made it to 21,000. 6k of that with a blower. They will have to be replaced in the spring.

whoa, same thing here.. just around 32k on a 2012 and two trips to the strip and occasional burnout here or there.. mostly parking lot drift.. but i'm down to the threads in the center of the tire, my guess is because of a recent trip to the dealer for an oil change and they over inflated.. anywho, overall i was pleased but i'm thinking of going with the new BFGs now..

i can't recall the treadwear rating but over 20k miles i would think is decent..

I'm at 23,000 miles and getting close to wear bars. I'd guess the rear tires have about 6,000 miles left in them. Tire pressure is always around 36 PSI and wear is even.
I would consider myself a conservative driver. No burnouts but I've done plenty of "spirited" driving.

I live in Nevada. I have just under 10k miles. Tires have made 5 or 6 passes down the strip and some pririted driving and mine are at the wear bars now in the rears and about 50% tread left in the front. Just in time for winter

It looks like there is quite a range of mileage with these tires. I'm not sure if I should just get P0s for the rear or buy another type of tire - unfortunately that means replacing the fronts too. At least I have the winter to decide.
