I only have 1300 miles on my car, so I hope I won't be buying tires for a long, long time. From what I have heard from other Corvette owners, I should expect about 15,000 miles out of the first set (19" rear & 18" front -- Stingray without the Z51 package).
One of the tough things is that the tires are unidirectional and are different sizes -- thus meaning they cannot be rotated the way it is with more "typical" cars.

You would have to dismount and remount to flip them around.I just replaced my OEM runflats with the same tires on my Z51 - with alignment came out to just under $1600 out the door. A little painful but I did get 29,000 miles out of the first set.

Oh, that makes sense.
By the way, 29k is darn good.
