I just turned 27K on my original tires.
I thought I was in good shape but wasn't checking both sides. Left side still had a decent amount of tread and all I checked. Right side, not so much, down to near slicks and cords showing.
Most freeway entrances in Michigan are right handers and I do drive the car pretty hard, put a lot of stress on the front right.
That is supercharged the past 14K miles too, so I think the rear left suffered from spinning before the E-diff got the other tire working.
A mild driver could easily get 30+ out of them, however a lot of my driving is highway. Few road trips account for 30 percent of that mileage and my drive to the office and back is 40 miles per day, all highway.

I got over 35,000 on my fronts, and 45,000 on my rears factory tires Z51. I was actually surprised at this because I drive aggressively. I have never burned rubber on them, but live where I can drive aggressively on a bunch of curvies. I also have a bunch of highway miles 7000 + mile trip and many 1000 + mile trips.
It's my DD, and I am very satisfied with the OEM tires. My only gripe is that if it is below freezing, I have to drive my C6 with the A/S tires.

My Z is a garage queen. I have other vehicles for snow, ice, rain... It's good to know that a Vette is more capable, but it's just a toy for me...
No sympathy or apologies needed.

Won't post any rain pics, but will do numbers ...
You've been warned ...
Just finished a 20 day road trip with the wife, here are a few numbers.
Will post a few pics, comments, and a funny launch control video, later.
We took delivery of the vette on 10/30/15, it had 3 mile

Surely its not an A8 is it? that sort of miles is impossible for A8.
