How many miles can I expect on a new set of tires.?
- Thread starter viperman4125
- Start date
I get 2 years out of a set with ~5,000 miles per year and a couple autoX's & trackdays.
If i did no performance events i'd expect 3-4.
So maybe 15-20K miles since that is what you are asking.
Even if they still have tread i'd personally replace after a max of 5 years as the tire compound hardens year after year to the point where they have significantly lees grip than when new. With the exception of a garage queen that only gets babied on occasional sunday drives or museum piece.

I asked the guys where I get my tires a couple months back as I might have to replace mine due to a nail in the side, and they said under normal conditions we should get 18,000 - 20,000 miles on the Michelin PS2's

Tires seem to be a consumable item for most Vipers, like fuel, oil, and fuel. It depends on the driver and the way the car is driven. I can't seem to get tires to last at all. Usually 3 sets a summer. Brake pads have the same problem as tires. ..........I love this car.

Reasonably 20 K.

If driven like a car, that can be expected. ........but if that's how you're gonna drive it, why not just buy a regular car?........................or a Corvette.

Kinda, sorta'.............................No mullet?
i somehow have almost 7k on my sport cups and they are only about 2/3 worn out.... but with no electronics to save me from destroying the car into walls and curbs I have not acted too stoopid with it. I only made it 5k miles on my 08 Z06 but it would keep me in check with stability, etc...

Chip, I think he is relying on us to help with that
I don't think he has anything in particular in mind yet...Based on this I see no reason you can't get 20k out of a set of street tires.

Thank you all for that help. I have Michilum Pilot Sport with 4k on them. How often do you balance them?
What Viper are the tires on and how old are the tires? Tires can be low mileage but too old and, therefore, too hard. On a cold day, even in Florida, old, cold tires can be very dangerous. Unless you have knocked off or repositioned one of the balance weights, rebalancing should not be necessary. Are you really referring to alignment?

Got 18,000 miles on Pilot Sport Cups! Yes I know, I should be shot for driving so conservatively, especially in an ACR!
