Default how long do your tires last?

I have Potenza s03 275/30/19 245/35/19.... they are too soft and they wear fast since my car is dropped about 3 inches. How long does everyone else's tires last?

My Toyo T1S lasted about 18k or so. Hopefully I will get more out of the T1R

It TOTALLY depends on the car and the person who is driving it. At those low profile, if you BABY the car and it has no extra weight, i.e heavy soundsystems, expect 15k, 20k TOPS.

Nitto NT 555...I've had them since April, roughly 14k in driving....can't see any uneven wear as of yet. I'd say 80% left. Honestly can't beleive it.
