18in Tire Life....

I nearly have 17K on my 06 GT and I was wondering how long the tires will last for milage wise. From a quick glance they still look like they have lots of tread life left, but on my 98 GT and 02 SVT Focus (both with summer Z tires) I was lucky to get 20-25K out of them (but the replacements lasted nearly double that). I'm assuming the all-season high performance tires should last longer, but how much? Just incase I have to start saving for new rubber

I normally don't roast the tires, once in a great while...I take corners a bit agressively though

my '98 had Goodyears that were garbage.. I know the BFG Comp T/As that I replaced them with lasted a helluva lot longer.... But, I can't keep my foot out of the gas pedal on this one to get a fair judgement on how long these BFGs will last.

I have the 17". After 2 years & 60K of very hard driving & burn outs I am putting on a new set this weekend. I service the car every 7k which includes rotating the tires.
