how long did your stock tires last you?

[MarkyMark]

(see topic) I just wanna know what ppl say....

[oldster]

Still have them but less than 9K miles, sorry no help. :)

[ProToolsKid]

Toyota only puts like 20k-30k tires on their cars.

[MarkyMark]

damn, I must be filling them too much....14k miles (had the car since sept 2000, lol) and the center tread of the tires are almost completely worn...

[WillyK]

I got about 11k out of mine before the center tread was gone. What a pain considering the rest of the tires looked perfect. :mad:

[iMouseGTS]

car bought 08/00

Yokohama A680's

28,000 miles

still have them on the car but they are very worn and need changing very soon especially if it snows hard here in NY...

[Chumpchiggy]

You're overinflated Marky...

I keep mine at 1-2 lbs. under the recomended settings...

BTW, I took my stocks off at 7500 miles... I've had the Enkei's on for 16,000 + and my Yoko Avid H4's are still going :D

[MarkyMark]

Chiggy, here in the ghetto we can't afford things like you :D

As soon as my tires bite the dust, I'm getting new rims anyway. I just want to know how long I can expect them to last. I fill to about 40psi

I run 30 in mine, believe the recommended is 32.

[Stripe GT2]

32,000 and still going. I keep mine at 30 psi and there is still much tread left. I must be doing something right.:D

[Bling]

10,000 miles until the center tread was gone. No burnouts or anything like that either.

[Novus]

~16,000 before I got new ones at the insistance of my father. That's ok because I know what happens when you ride on nearly bald tires.

I got 15,000 out of mine. Would've gotten more had I known they wore out like that. I didn't rotate the tire until about 9,000 miles, and the front ones were worn pretty bad, and I don't drive the car to the tires limits much either. Had to get them replace when I failed inspection.

[Zorn]

Changed 'em @ 30,000 miles. PSI was 32-35 always.

Tread was pretty worn, but they could have gone a little bit longer. (no balding)

[Kit99bar]

MarkyMark: 40psi?

dang that's high

[Carbon GTS]

kept mine at 32psi, 20k miles and theyre done. Looking for new ones now

[00 scrub]

10,000 miles on my stock Yokohama Advan A680s. No burnouts, jsut alot of hard cornering. They should have been replaced about 1500 miles ago, but I haven't gotten to findng a decent replacement set.

that would be the **** if we could get a nice group of ppl and get some nice tires cheap

[Trial00GTS]

i've had my car since early June of 2000 and i only have 5025miles :D I have cavalier I drive, delivering Pizzas, and while I go to school, so i don't put miles on my celi. I still injoy my car during the weekends though.

I had to rotate my wheel front to back and visaversa at 4,600

[Karim]

stock dunlops lasted about 12k

[M SPEC]

My 17's with 215/45 tires are going to be replaced soon. Got so far, about 16,000 miles out of them. Another 2-3000 miles and I'll get Yokohama 539's as my next tire choice.

Jason

[tool462]

I got 17k out of mine, but I was stupid and put off rotating them until 15k.

[cftofu]

how do we know when the tires are worn out?
i have gt tires with 7000 on the odo

ill probably wait til my tires get worn out, then get some nice ones with rims

[deceptikon047]

about 27,000 before i got a new set... my car came stock with bridgestone Potenza's

40 lbs is way too high for a light car like the Celica. Toyota recommends 32. Over-inflation explains why the center of your tires are worn. The 44 lbs listed on the side of the tire is the MAXIMUM pressure rating from the tire manufacturer. By no means does that mean you need to inflate your tire to this rating. You need too follow Toyota's recommendation, as the loading on each tire has been accounted for in the calculation.

BTW, I have 13,000 on my OEM tires, and they look pretty good yet.

[inflaymes]

I am over 36K on my stock tires and plan on using them this winter as well..then get new wheels and rubber next year!

[po9i]

i got about 15k on mine, they were a POS

[cam_n_scott]

how do we know when the tires are worn out?

If you look in-between the treads, you will see little areas where the rubber is higher than the base of the tread. When the outside edge of the tire gets worn down to the point where these points are equal, you know its about time for new tires. Its hard to explain, but if you go look down the "valley" of your tire tread, you will see what I'm talking about.

I'm probably going your route. When my tires are through, I'll be pricing some 17"s. 40psi? that's way too high.

[powercx]

Does autocrossing with it counts? 21k miles including autocrossing miles.

[Zorn]

What if grandma drove like a bad-ass racecar driver?

[bme107]

bought it 9/2000, 15k miles, @ 32-33psi and showing little signs of wear. I'm a granny shifter:D

40psi is too high, it doesn't matter what the side wall says follow the owners manual, for the stocks anyway. (32psi)

[billybrun]

Mine lasted 16,000 miles. They were really bald 'cause... you know, I smoked the hell out of them!

[siwell]

Yokohamas made it to 18k, barely passed Texas inspection, replaced at 19k with Kumho's. It was scary driving in rain.

Ran them at 30-32psi, lots of hard cornering and burnouts with rotation every 5k.

[silverceli2k]

21.5k. middle wore out.

[PapiChuu]

I'm at 28k now, tires are pretty much bald. last weeks hydroplaning @40mph finally convinced me to get some new rubber, so new rubber going on this week :) before any snow hits otherwise im focked

[SMALLtme]

I've had my car since April 2000 and I my Yokohama stock tires lasted 28,600 miles. The middle tread was worn too and they started riding terrible. I just changed them out last month to Kumhos.

[erok]

22,500 mi with about 1/4 tread left on the stock Yokos. Then I went to the track and they were toast. Switched to Kuhmo 712's. Not really impressed with these. About the same overall performance as stock. A good value though.

[R K e 1 C A]

20,584.6 :D ...no more...35 psi....seemed to wear out quicker than normal...stick ing with recommended 32 on new on es
