Just as the topic says, how long do your tires last? Do you do peel out a lot or on accident? Do you brake hard?

Just trying to get a feel for around what mileage I should expect my tires to start going bald and need new ones. Same with the brakes.

It's all about how you drive.

An average driver should get 20-30,000 miles out of a set of tires, this being someone who isn't peeling out and throwing their car into turns having a blast. As for brakes, it also depends, doing brake stands absolutely eat your rear brakes, but they can usually take some punishment before you waste'em. My car is going on 45,000 miles on stock rotors & pads. Just within the last month I started getting a wiggle in the steering wheel, so I must have warped them some & the inside pad on the left rear is getting alittle thin. I'm not too hard on the brakes....

tires lasted about 35k, rear brakes still on the car with alotta meat after 55k and alotta burnouts - front rotors only lasted to 20k miles and warped, changed em out with with new softer pads and drilled / slotted rotors and no probs since

my first tires lasted 12k miles. I was at about 50% tread after 3k miles so I backed off it a bit for the next 9k miles. It's all in how you drive it. I'm at 14.7k miles on the car right now and I've not had to do anything with the brakes yet

my tires are at bout 50% tread and had them around 4000miles, sad thing is i swapped front to rear and they are all 50%, so really i wore down my rear tires 100% in 4k..... and they are a tire that ssupposed to last a long time... man i have burnout problems!

Let's see, my first set of tires lasted about 10,500 miles. I'm at 22,000 miles now with decent tread left. Like everyone has said above, it's how you drive it, I have so much torque and hp that I spin the tires with very little effort. As for the brakes, the pads look like they are about 1/2 drained at this point.

Oh, I should add that I only had the tires like a year and a half... put that 35k on the highway so it skewwed my numbers some

Hah! My tires on back get changed every oil change on my last mustang(SN-95), cant imagine what its going to cost me now with a 331 pushin over 350 the the wheels , but hell i dont care... I do wha ti wont if as long as im paying for them... but yeh around 30k is abotu right for some tires, unless you drive like grand-ma moses....
