Out of curiousity, approximately how many miles can you get out of a set of tires assuming:

1. your car is lowered slightly: either the tein or eibach/bilstein?

2. either 245 all around set or 235 F 265R or 245 F 275 R..I assume they make a difference since you can't rotate the last 2 options..?

3. What's the treadwear on your tires?

I am looking into sizing up and would like to allocate a budget for the tires...

Thanks...

Dave - Might be too many variables to predict. I have the Eibach/KYB 1.25" drop & 18" Nitto Extremes. I think their treadwear rating is 300 - don't have the GS at the moment. The Nittos R directional so I can only rotate F to B every 5k miles. I have over 15k on them & they still look new. My mileage is a 60/40 mix of in-town/highway driving. Also my wife drives it most of the time but when I get in it, it's driven hard! So much of your potential treadlife is dependent on driving habits but at the rate the Nittos are wearing, I'd say another 15k plus will be a reasonable expectation.
