How long did your stock tires last? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just did my tire rotation today after 8,000 miles and noticed that i may only have 50% of tire life left. How long did your OEM tires last?

Just read your thread and went to go test my tread out. According to the reading I have equal to or a little greater than 2/32" of tread left, meaning I am not in need of new tires just yet. I am at 11,450 miles.

they still have a lot life in em, parking lot drifts and a few autox.

I took mine off after 16k miles or so 15k of which was unaligned after my drop and a lot of launches and a few spirited drives and I would say they still have a solid 50% left.

2/32nd (and also the legal limit) is pretty shallow.... might want to look at another set of tires soon.

On the side note, these tires are rated for 35,000 Miles. I'm pretty sure (99.99%) that these tires have a tread life warranty. Might want to call up Michelin to see if you can get some prorated refund on these 201 dollar tires.

Edit:

Changed the tire mileage rating from 30,000 to 35,000 miles. Scion FRS are W Speed rated tires.

9800 miles, 7 autox events, 6mm left all around, i think they are holding up well for what ive put them through but ill be buying Z2s for next spring anyway so im not concerned with life

Cal3000 · 12-15-2013, 01:07 AM

39,100 miles so far. The tread life is pretty good. I beat these tires up pretty bad.

Dezoris · 12-15-2013, 01:21 AM

50 miles before I got real tires.

I replaced mine at 15,000 and they probably had a good 70% left.

I want to say i made it to 9k miles... i was at or below 2/32, the tire started chunking off at that point. My S2000 also typically lasted 7-9k miles per set on 615's / re10's (i think those were the tires i typically ran).

Does Michelin need some type of proof in order for me to get a 2nd new set at a discounted rate? How does that work?

Can I also choose another Michelin Tire besides the stock ones?

You can take it to an Authorized Michelin retailer. Show them the tire (they must be at 2/32nds or lower), and then they would call up Michelin and then reimburse you.

I'm not sure if you can change the tires. You can try though.

Many factors affect the life of your tires, such as tread compounds, construction features, driving style, road conditions, etc., which makes exact mileage impossible to predict. However, as part of The Michelin Promise Program, all MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires (replacement & original equipment) are covered by a limited warranty for tread wear.

Use the following link to find a local Michelin retailer. http://www.michelinman.com/dealer-lo...r-locator.page

Call Michelin Customer Care if you want more details. 1-866-866-6605.

I'm so glad the FRS came with Michelins. They're the only tire company I would support

Great Customer Service, they even provide free towing if your tire blew/flat changing assistance. You can count on this company to get your back for an additional year after your Scion Boost expires.

Quote:

A qualified service professional will change your flat and install your spare tire or provide towing at no charge. In case of a flat tire, simply call 1-888-553-4327 and a qualified professional will change the tire or provide towing up to 150 miles for free. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in the U.S. and Canada.

27,000 miles. Had a little life left, but winter was coming. Might have made it another 5-8k with another rotation if I lived in a warm dry climate.
