How many miles did everyone get out of their tires that came with the vehicle from the dealership? Sticker says wear can be less than 15,000 miles before them needing replaced.
How far did yours go?

I got 12,800 out of my Dunlops, but that was because of some unknown problem causing the inside of one to wear out. I still had about half of the treadlife on all the others.
While I'm at it, I'd like to say I REALLY like the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S that I have now. Quieter, less tramlining, and handles great!

I have the Bridgestone Potenzas on my car.
I'm not sure about the Dunlops but the Bridgestones do not have a tread warranty, they have a tire warranty.. What that equates to what you get out of the tire is what you get. I have 20k miles on my, I still have tread but they are obnoxiously loud, and for that reason I am looking to replace them.
Having performance tires for a car thats fast in a straight line is over rated!

Well I'm at 12000km and the rears looks ok for another 10000km. Both fronts just got changed under warranty 2 weeks apart. One had a screw in it which couldn't be pluged and the other had a cut in the side wall. For this reason I'll have to purchase the same Dunloop SP Sprots Maxx for my next set of rears.
Back in 04 they where #1 in Tirerack comparo test.

I don't mind to purchase them again since they still seem to hold their own today, they are rated #4 on Tirerack users reviews.
Just below the mighty Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3.

Had those on my Audi S4. Excellent tire. Very quiet, don't tramline, respectable handling and good tread life for a performance tire. When my OEM Dunlops are worn out, I'm planning to replace them with those Goodyear Eagles.

I am just shy of 28,000. I asked the SA on my last visit and he mentioned that they are the first he has seen that lasted that long. The most he has seen is 18K. I should get another 1,000 miles out of them and then I am getting (2) new sets. I am stuck on General's UHP's or Kumho's Ecsta SPT.
The OEM are Bridg's Potenza RE92. These tires are not that good. They do not hold up at all in wet weather, but are ok on dry land.

I have over 30k on mine and they still have legal tread on them. Bridgestone RE050s.
RE92's are not OEM for the IS350. RE92s are a crap tire and I wouldn't run them on my dog's lawnmower.
