My front stock tires were shot at 6500 miles under normal street driving conditions, but rear tires look pretty good for same mileage.
So was wondering what members are getting out of their rear Michelins on their Z06 Corvettes before replacing their rear tires under normal...driving ....not track conditions?

7,600 miles and look almost good as new. No track driving.
Might check alignment

Take it to the dealer and tell them to check alignment. They come from the factory set up for the track. If you don't track it it tell them to do a street alignment. That's what I was told. I got around 9000 miles out mine with very aggressive driving and I'm making 1000HP. Now my rear tires are wearing faster. Lol

i go through fronts in 4,500 miles and rears at 6,000 miles. No track usage or alignment issues.

I have 6000 miles on my cup2s which just passed inspection, probably get 3-4000 more before replacing. They are wearing perfectly even. No track events just Texas Hill Country driving Z06 M7.

I do quite a few 1st gear rips from 20mph on my county road laying down about 15 yds. of double stripes coming to my driveway just to let the neighbors know I'm home! I've got just over 9k miles with perfect even wear & they appear to be about 1/2 gone. When they start getting a bit slippery I'll get some more! No chance I'm going to worry about using up these tires. What kind of fun would just driving be in these beasts.

Florida macadam is pretty course, which may account for more rapid wear. Road surfaces vary a great deal across the country due to aggregate availability, surface requirements, weather (rain), and a few other factors. Heavy feet play a fairly significant role as well

Strange....same with mine. Good alignment and the fronts still went before the rears. When Discount Tire runs their specials I stock up. I currently have 2 sets of fronts and 1 set of rears. Sitting at 13,000 miles now and replaced the fronts at 7K, the rears at 11k.

What the special consists of? I'm looking for tires currently. Thanks

What is the best price on a set ?

I can usually net the tires down below $1,250. The Discount Tire Direct deal is going on right now. I haven't confirmed this year's prices but here's my post from last year's Black Friday promo.

On my Z, I have the Michelin Super Sports, got 17K on the fronts & rears would likely may go 20K or slightly more.

I have no idea how folks around here get so many miles on tires driving on the street. Guessing we drive too spirited to come close to the miles people are reporting.

The rears last a little longer than the fronts but we are getting 9K-12K per set on MPSS ZP's. On the track we typically cord the outsides first. On the street we typically cord the insides first. Have only managed to cord one set down the middle and they were brand new at the track for a day and then finished off on the street. They had less grip and were not very good on the street IMO.

The sets we ran on the track that had 500-2,000 miles on them were way better than the new sets immediately, better grip feel and awesome until dead. It took 5-10 laps around MSR Houston for the new sets to feel as good as the street scuffs.

I believe the ideal way to run them for the track would be to put 1,000-4,000 street miles on them and run them at the track until dead. Rotating tires side to side between sessions.

The last miles on the street on a set of MPSS ZP's are good on dry streets but if you get caught out in the rain a new set with deeper tread has been way better and more resistant to hydroplaning. Since I have so many sets of rims I am going to start trying to wear out the first 4,000-5,000 miles on the street. And save the last bits of life for the track.

Just replaced the fronts on mine this past summer . Both front tires were corded on the INSIDE edge about 4 inches in from the sidewall . Car had approx 19,000 kms on it . Rears seem to be ok for now but will likely need to be replaced next summer for sure . All street driving up here .

I've been running my original set of MPSS tires since the car was new and I now have 12,900 miles on the current tires and still have a little ways to go before hitting the wear bar on front or back. The wear is pretty even, even with one track day thrown in.

I did change out the module for magnetic ride control from DCS fairly early and had the car aligned to his street/track alignment specs which has helped a lot with handling, hookup, and tire wear.
