Hi everyone, I'm a brand new member and I have a question regarding how many miles I can expect to get out of the factory Goodyear Eagles on my '04. I bought it last April and live in PA but work in Jersey so I haven't quite had it a year yet, but due to the weather it has not been out too much since last November. She has just over 27,000 miles on her tires. How many more miles can I expect to get out of them?
Thanks in advance,
Kyle Curry

I agree with all these guys - obviously it all depends on how the car is driven. In my experience the backs go before the fronts (too much right foot, I guess.... :o )
Once tire gets down 2/32" tread depth, I'd be looking for some new shoes!

Hard question to answer. Depends on your diving habits a lot. I only got 15K out of my rear Goodyear EMTs and that was not with any really hard driving. My fronts probably would have lasted about 30K or so. From the posts on here, the mileage ranges from about 13K up to around 40K.

Welcome to the Forum! 
This topic gets brought up quite often here on the Forum and as others have mentioned, it depends greatly on your driving habits. For the OEM Goodyear F1 EMT's, people here have reported lifetime mileage anywhere from 7K to over 40K miles.

I drive just about all highway miles. I work 64 miles from where I live so it's 128 miles trip, six days per week. It works out to just about 3000 miles per month.
