I only got 19,000 miles out of the rear tires on my 1999 coupe. My X-son in law, got 21,000 miles out of the rear tires on his 1998 convertible. Getting in the 40 thousands, is unreal.

Live in Central Ohio and have 48000 on my factory tires on my 2000 Firebird vert. Still have about 4/32. May put new ones on it this spring before I sell it, though. Car was a DD for 3 years and has been on numerous long road trips (Charleston, Key West, etc.)
