I have had my car for just under 12k. I just put my winter tires on. I will be in desperate need of new tires by next summer.

I'm at 27000 and counting...they still look in decent shape, too. Will probably get them replaced in Feb or March, since that's when I get my tax refund. If I don't do it then, I'll spend the money on something else and be broke when I really need it.

just under 11k on my car and I measured the tire tread before a rotation on Wednesday

rears: 8/32 lowest
fronts: 7/32 lowest

I'll definitely be buying some ultra high performance all-seasons after these (Bridgestone Potenza RE92A?). These stockers have terrible tread life and cause nasty vibrations in the first 15 miles of my daily commute. I check tire pressures every other week, rotate every 3,500 miles and balance every 5,500 (free at work). I don't even burn the tires.

i wouldn't be anywhere near you guys...i sold my stock wheels/tires after 5k miles. Wheels looked good but were way too heavy and tires just plain sucked. Never ever hydroplaned in a FWD until those tires. :P

i have about 26k on my stockers and im about due but they usually last long when u rotate when u r suppose to. And besides that, i think its a drivers preference because some ppl will wait until the wires start showing on their tires and some will change them eventhough they have some tread left.

I'm at 30K and counting, but will likely need them in the summer.

What have you guys been switching to when you change them?

Anyone keeping the Pirellis?

I've got 38,700 and I think I can get through the winter without buying a new set.
