With one small exception related to our Vettes.

From Michelin website:
* Mileage Warranty Exceptions
Split fitments - If your vehicle has tires of different sizes on the front versus the rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as recommended. Therefore, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire line.

Based on what I am seeing in this thread it seems you can get the full 30K out of them as long as you just turtle around which I guess is fair enough. Cant expect to go to some back roads for aggressive driving and expect the full 30K out of them.

I got 16,000 out of mine and they were shot. I find it hard to believe people are getting twice that, or more, out of the exact same tires.

Got at least 30k out of the fronts (PO replaced those before I bought it). I'm close to 34k on the rears and they have maybe another 1-2k left on them before hitting the wear bars. It's an M7 Z51 '14 that I daily drive on canyon roads with an A&A V3 kit on it for the last 5k miles.

Oh and I'm running MPSS non-runflat.

35,000 on the fronts, and surprisingly, 45,000 on the rears.

Spirited driving (17 mpg lifetime), but no burnouts. Z51.

More than I expected, and much more than I got out of either original sets of GYs.

eta: I just realized my second set of fronts have 45,000 miles on them now, and still have plenty of tread.

Michelin is good!

Everyone drives differently and under different conditions, variances in mileage is to be expected.
