How many miles should I expect out of the original Pirelli p zero that came on that car

depending on the way you drive.

I got 26K out of the rears, but I ran them down to the cords. The front were well worn too, but not as bad as the rears.

On my 2012 2LT, I got 20k, then needed rears... I also drove it in the winter with the Pirelli's, and I do not suggest that. Got rid of the car before replacing, but I would say without teh winter conditions, 35k? not 100% on that tho

I changed mine out before a cross country trip with 34k. Could have gone more but didn't want to take a long trip with them. You will find some people with more and people with a lot less. (2010 SS before the current ZL1)

I changed mine at 50,000 miles exact back in September 2013, bought the car brand new in April 2011. All weared evenly with proper tire rotations.

My rears lasted about 1200 miles, fronts still look new.

I was planning to buy a second set of wheels for winters next fall but after thinking about some of the road trips I want to take this summer and fall, I decided to pull the trigger right away except I'm putting UHP A/S on the wheels now so I don't run up a bunch of highway miles on the Pirellis or get caught out in the snow in late fall. I'll save the OE Pirelli summers for when it's nice and hot and I need a handling tire.

To be honest this question has probably been asked 1000+ times in the past 5 years.

There is no real answer, because it depends on your driving style.

Aggressive drivers might only see 5k miles.
People who drive long distances on the highway and don't drive aggressively may see 30K+ miles.

I personally only got 8K out of my rear tires when I ran P-Zeros, but I would be considered a pretty aggressive driver.

I drove mine until there was almost no tread remaining, and I made it to 20 months and 36,000 miles. From 14-20K miles they barely made it through the winter snow. This past December I was more wise and bought a second set of smaller wheels with Blizzak tires (thanks, Tire Rack!). Now I am shopping for replacement summer tires and will attempt to make the Pirellis last longer (in both months and miles).

With 20K miles I am still not down to the wear strips on the rears despite driving mostly with the traction control off. They are getting hard and slip easily when temps < 65F.
