14,000 miles on my one original rear tire, MPSS.
The rest were replaced under my tire and wheel protection policy along my first three years.
One hammering track day, and always hard street driving. (2016 Z06)
By the way, that 14,000 mile tire is shot. Getting replaced Friday.

I got about 14K miles which included some autocross and a few days at the drag strip. Alignment was off from the factory so the insides were down to the cords. Have 10K on the second set and they will be replaced in a couple months with the AS 3+ for the winter.

My alignment was off from factory too. At around 8k miles although my PSS's looked brand new, almost like it was never used.

I have to find my alignment paper so i can post it. It was off but not that bad.

I got just over 16k on all 4 Cup2s. They were pretty evenly warn. Replaced with a new set of Cup2s that now have about 5k on them. Again wearing evenly.

I had my 2016 Z06 (non-Z07) aligned at delivery for a street specification by Pfadt Racing (Specs are posted in some threads here or on other Corvette forums). The original alignment was off by quite a bit, although I had not driven it enough to settle the suspension a bit. I now have about 16,000 miles and show even wear all around, plus or minus 1/32. And it looks like I still have about 4/32-5/32 of depth so there are some miles to go yet on my Pilot Sports. -Bob

10,000 then my cup 2 tires were replaced. Never tracked. DSC street alignment when new Michelin pilot super sport tires purchased. Car handles so much better. Hoping to get a lot more miles this time around. This forum is filled with great information.

Agree with others. PSS runflats were toast at 8K miles. Switched to MPSS and have 12K on them with 50% tread left. Should see 20-22K easy which about how they performed on my CTS-V coupe.
