Default Tire Wear

How many miles before the rear tires needed replacing?

Sure this must have been done before, but I am interested to know as mine are gonna need replacing soon.

Mine went 13K miles and still had tread on them when I replaced (except the very outside edge due to excessive speed at Lil Talledega) and a number of trips down the 1/4 mile. If I never tracked the car I would say, depending on driving style, the stock rubber is good for 15-20K miles.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your contact through our web site. I'm sorry that you've had
to wait to replace your original equipment tires.

The Eagle F1 Supercar tire in the 2 sizes that you need went into
production on 2/2/04. The back order will be filled first, but your nearest
Goodyear dealership should be able to get these tires for you within a
month.
Consumer Relations
