How many miles did your first set of tires last?
My 2015 Z51 has about 9k miles on it with the orginal tires - and I'd like to shift to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ZP's. Just curious how long the stock tires might last. I see one post where it was 22k. I'm sure driving habits have a lot to do with it.

My 2015 Z51 has 25,000 miles (mostly long trips, around town driving. No track days), and I'd guess they have another 10K to go before I also plan on getting some All-season tires to better deal with our cold, wet, NW Washington climate!

I have 14,000 miles on my 2014 and still half the tread left front and rear.
Of course, I will not let them wear all the way to nothing, so probably around 25k.
I may decide to change them out because of age before the tread is gone.

The factory set of my '14 Z51 tires lasted me 22k miles front and 24k miles rear.

What am I doing wrong?
My 2014 I had to replace the fronts at 17K miles and the backs were still at 50%. I traded it for a 2016. I now have 13K on the car and the fronts look like they'll have to be replaced at 15-17K again...and the backs are again at 50%. They are wearing evenly...but fast. How are you guys getting so many miles out of your fronts?

15 Z51 lasted 8,000.
Numerous Autocrosses.
Tires chunked hunks of rubber on all 4. Was about 20% tread left.
Replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. Love them, really grip.

Depends on your driving habits. I got 11K on mine. Guess what my driving habits are?

I have 18k and my fronts were trashed. I've done some track events as well. I just had a supercharger installed and the rears would not hook at a 20mph roll flooring it So I put on the new Michelin PS4S (pss replacement) and love them!

Mine (Z51) lasted 35,000 in the front and 45,000 in the rear.
Spirited street driving, no burnouts, no track.

This is completely based on driving habits. I got 14k out of mine. I changed them because the fronts were going. The rears probably could have gotten a few more thousand out of them. I don't drive that hard no track days, but I do like to take corners. The car lets you know it's limits through the front tires. It still surprises me sometimes when taking a corner hard.
