How long do stock Z06 tires last?
I'm just curious what your experience is, I'm losing a lot of tread and I'm only 2500 miles in!! not even going crazy on the road either, and no track... yet!

I have 2500 on the cups 2 and they still look great gonna track them at the corvette bash later this month and then see where they stand... I have an extra set just in case... I'll buy cup 2's if anyone is interested in selling them...
Thanks

Just got back from a California Coast road trip. bought the car and three days later on the road, put 5,000 miles on the Z06..... I could not notice any wear at all. Drove at 85mph a lot of the time. Got great gas mileage averaged 24 mph for the trip and got 32Mpg when I drove 69-70 mph.
No one passed me unless I let em !!

Regardless, rears are the drivers discretion...here's michelins 20,000 rating given for standard ps2 tires with 220 treadwear rating, hope that helps.

It depends on how you drive.
I like the use the cornering capability of my cars that do corner, so i don't get much life.
I would get about 10K miles out of the Michelins that were the recommended stock (sticky) tire for my 308.
I had an '82 Camaro Z-28, which didn't have enough power to barely chirp the tires, and the factory tires were worn out at 18K miles.
In fact, the guy that bought my Z-28 told me the tire guy that put new tires on that car for him asked: 'what idiot drove this car to wear the tires out so fast?"
Hey, controllable four wheel drifts were fun. Slow down for a 90* turn? Why?
