In the process of buying my first Corvette - a 2017 Grand Sport 2LT. I'm trying to figure out how often I will need to buy new tires. Note that I won't ever be tracking the car. I00% street. Just curious how long your tires last. How many miles before needing to buy new tires. Thanks. Welcome your input.

I have a Z51-my OEM tires lasted 21,000 miles.

Well that certainly depends all on how you drive. Baby it and they will last a long time. Drive it and ahh, bad news here, you'll eat them up. Not saying these cars have way too much horsepower but I have to suspect Michelin was in on the gig. Probably not the best car to be concerned about tire longevity with anyway.

That's pretty good. The last "performance" car I owned was a 1992 Acura NSX. Yokohama's on that car were OEM and lasted maybe 15,000 miles maximum.

This is what I got on my 2012 GP, I have not replaced my 2016 yet - only 6,000 as of today.

I replaced my tires at 33,000+ miles. They likely had another 5,000 in them....

30k

10k with lots of life left on my base with Z51 wheels/tires. 1 track day. That kinda tore up the tread but it's looking better a couple thousand miles later. I figure they will go 20k. Maybe a little less if I do the Iowa Speedway Karl Chevrolet track day again next year.

13k and will only get around 15k. I think that road composition makes a great difference. Around here the roads are very abrasive. My driving isn't all that aggressive.

On our 2015, Z-51, street driving only we got 17,000 on the OEM tires

Some people are just tougher on tires than others. Sort of like shoes. But I got 25000 miles on the stock run flats on my C6. And I had over 130 1/4 mile runs on them. They still had enough tread on them but I had to get rid of them because the rubber was getting too hard and wouldn't get decent traction any more. I've noticed the Michelins on my Stingray are way superior traction and sound wise to the GY's on my C6.I have over 11K on them now & they still look pretty good. Just sayin"

15,500 miles on my OEM Z51 tires, and they have just about had it. I think I'll be able to get about 18K at the max out of them.

18,449 miles and tires look great. Plenty of miles left. I got the car in April of 2014.

Embarrassed to say,

42K+ on the fronts, ready to be replaced.
Rears still have plenty of tread, I expect at least 50K

Apparently I am not having enough fun....

It appears that the area you live in makes a difference. Most of the Florida cars are getting more out of their tires!

Trihawk

Haha! Bumper-to-bumper L.A. traffic just forces me to drive like a granny! :-)

Wow, this is unusual for Summer UHP tires. I would say 15-25K is average tire life depending on driving style road conditions.

I have 306 miles on mine and they look like new!...lol

I live in the cooler climate of NW Washington, and have 20,000 miles on my 2015 Z51 tires. They look like they will easily last another 10-15,000.
