Tire Life of the P-Zero?

Hows the P-Zeros on everybody's SS S/C Doing?

Ive heard some people say there done at 15,000... others say there ok.

I got about 12,000 on mine, rotated once at 5,500. Going to rotate again this weekend.

All in all they are in great shape. I drive hard, don't do burn outs but I do get light spin (ie slowing starting in first and then gunning it... cause some skipping in first and then going to second) every once and a while (couple times a week). I also corner hard... not to the point where the tires squeal... but close...

How about everyone else? I was hoping the would be worse off by now so I wouldn't feel so bad buying the Perilli's M+S Max Performance All Season (Mud and Snow) Tires...

I heard 16000

If you can stick a penny with Lincoln’s head against your tire, and see the top of his head, it's time to replace them.

No the P-Zeros we have are not directional.

Im at almost 7k miles. Rotated my tires last weekend... fronts at 50-60% tread life... rears still at 70-80%. Figure I can probably go another 10k miles atleast.

I have 26,271 miles on my SS/SC before I put into storage. The tires are the first thing getting replaced when it comes out. They have nothing left. They look like nascar tires and don't hook worth a ****. I think regardless how you drive they are done between 20-25k. I drove good some days, bad others. You get the idea. And I rotated them 3 times!!

Or less...
I noticed in MI my tires lasted quite a bit longer. Think it may have been due to the temps... Heat here in AZ just kills tires... Especially Z rated summer tires...
My CRX would burn through a set of nitto 555s in about 5000 miles.
