If 13000 miles brought my tread height down to 5/32", how many more miles should I expect out of these original tires?

It depends.

Thank you for your insight.

Got 22k out of mine

What tires, what specific model?

17 A8 2LT Stingray // how many 32's of an inch do new factory Michelins have?

New Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP's for a non have 9.5/32 on front and 10/32 on rear.

New Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP's for a Z51 have 9/32 on front and 51d/32 on rear.

not very good mileage i think, i have 13,500 on my car and still have 6-7/32 left, and i "drive" it. am expecting to get another 13-15 out of them. i drive a lot of twisties.

Keep in mind that most states require 2/32" of tread in the shallowest groove, so that determines the official end of life.
If you drive in a place that never gets rain, going a bit below 2/32" in one groove might be acceptable if the other grooves are still above the limit. But Florida is not one of those places...

When you do get new tires, the Michelin AS runflats have some happy users even in Florida, they perform pretty well in warm temps if you're not tracking the car. They also cost less and last longer than the Super Sports, so your cost per mile is significantly lower.

no bragging!

Replaced at 24,000 when right front alignment issue wore the tire out enough to cause me worry > installed All Season, run flats,, they work great..

You guys are spoiled. Lucky to get 8k out of my GY Supercars on my Camaro. I've never seen that though. Every time I get another set, I go "celebrate" on the track. A sadly expensive hobby.

I'm pretty happy with my vette PSS tires though. 3,200 miles so far and they still look new. Thanks for the shared info on these tires guys, good to know.

Have heard 10,000 miles.Have also heard in the 20,000.Much depends how you drive the car.If you get on it they will wear quickly.If you drive the C7 like A cadillac they will last in the 20's.

I take it very easy on my tires and am disappointed in their wear. I have about 18,000 miles on them and are down to the wear bars on the front.

Just replaced my MPSS's on front yesterday - got over 30k miles on them. I have replacements ready to go on the rear but they have good tread on them still. They have over 25k miles on them. I daily-drive my '14 Z51 M7 almost 100 miles a day through mostly canyon roads and do not go out of my way to "preserve" my tires. I do check pressures frequently to ensure they are properly inflated as that and alignment are crucial to long life.

Is the key !

My 2015 with Z51 tires had 8.5/32" on front, 9.0/32" on rear when new. My GS had 7.2/32" on both, and double-checked this with several new Z06s and GSs (both Z07 and std.) with the same result. This is measured with my cheapo tire-depth gauge which has always shown ~½/32" less depth than the mfr. claims, including motorcycle tires. I would tend to trust the gauge and would bet the mfrs. are fudging.

I never had my alignment checked, but wear is even across the tire. If there are no wear issues, is there really any need to check the alignment?

At 19000 miles the fronts were down to the wear bars and the backs still had probably another 2 to 3 thousand left in them.
Frequently checked tire pressure for correct inflation, very even wear was evident and my car is a DD that I do not track or push hard......Base 7, 18 front, 19 rear .

I have 13.5k miles on my Z51, and will probably replace at 15k miles. I don't track the car, so am debating between run-flats and non run-flats. Will probably go with summer tires as the weather here in No California is moderate.
