Default Average Tire Mileage

I did a search but I couldn't find a dedicated thread.

What tire mileage are people getting before having to replace the tires? Rear tires always seem to wear out first. Mine have 12,000 and 6 track days and are almost to the wear bars. I pretty happy with the wear. They are Goodyear F1 originals.

No tracks days but 17,000 miles on Goodyears and still not down to the wear bars. Ride started getting stiff and I lose some traction on aggressive starts so I’ll replace them next month. Fronts have at least another 10,000 miles in them.

Time should be a factor here too, it can be a big factor in grip, and a lot of people don't put high miles.

I am amazed that the OEM Cup2s on my GT3 lasted 15000 miles. Not an aggressive street driver, probably 6 track days at MidOhio in the advanced solo group. Probably not an aggressive track driver either...

My Cup2s on my GT3 and Mac never lasted more than 6K (with or without tracking). I can't believe how they wear so quickly, I need to figure out how you drive, as I have no luck with that many. And it is not like I am (or I think) driving hard. The worst part about it, I also live in Ohio - so I am thinking road conditions and composition are probably similar, so not the cause of mine wearing faster...

My normal sport tires on my 992 Targa (and before) - I could get ~10K out of.

I have the original Goodyear Tires on my '21 C2S, The attached is an image of a small spreadsheet I put together in an effort to predict when new tires will be needed. As my sophisticated (not) tire tread depth gauge measures in 32nds of an inch, some variability in the output of this spreadsheet is predictable. But it does give some idea of what's happening. I took measurements at: 5,568, 7,343 and 14,000 miles.
No Track Days or Auto-X but my driving is a bit "spirited". I run 33 psi in the Front Tires and 38 psi in the Rear Tires.

My Goodyear's seem to be wearing surprisingly well. I'll probably get 15,000 out of them. Proper alignment and good tire pressure are the key, I guess. Duh!
