I have 15,000 miles on my tires and they are still in good shape. I also go to the local strip and race quite a bit...so unless your air pressure is way off the tires should be in good shape.

My car is at about 20k and my stock Pirellis are in decent shape. I need to rotate them though, I keep forgetting!

2 times a night is 75 times a year probably with good weather plus dicking around and showing off it adds up. I don't say it for my health or to be a ***** i know from experience lol

im at 55k km (around 33k miles), lowered, and the stockers are getting worn down.

pirelli makes a decent tire, but the factory rossos suck, they are a low end tire.

How are the back tires? Most likely from what you're describing, it's the front tires that have all the wear. I recommend you get them rotated (just front to back is fine) and they will last you longer.

I put 22K on the stock tires. i could've put another 3-5K on them but they were losing grip as they got more worn. The new tires I put on hook much better.

Yes tire rotation (especially on a front wheel drive car) is a must. Do it every 5-6 K miles.

I have 20k on mine and there is a ton of tread left. I don't race people but I'm a spirited driver.
