How many miles out of factory BF Goodriches?

I am buying some 18" polished bullitts off of craigslist (in a City other than my own, so I can't go look at them) that have the original BF Goodrich KDWs on them. The wheels and tires have 15,000 miles on them, and the wheels look like they are in good shape, but it is hard for me to tell about the tires. Can anyone give me an idea as to how long the stock BFs will last? I am going to buy the wheels regardless, but I want to know if I need to be prepared to shell out $1000+ for new tires immdiately upon receipt. The original Pirelli P Zero Neros on my car seem to be in great shape after 16,000 miles.

Check out the manufacturers site to see what they say the expected mileage is to get a rough idea on how long they might last. Then again, it all depends on how you drive and how often you rotate the tires. I have BFGoodrich Gforce T/A KDW's with close to 60,000 km's on them. I can easily get another year out of these. However, I do know someone who had the same tires on his 05 and he didn't even get 10,000km out of his. I guess his foot is pretty heavy compared to mine

I'm running triple nickels now and they seem to last longer than the factory bfg's.
