How many miles on OEM 18" Pirelli Tires?
Just curious what kinda mileage folks are seeing on these stock tires? I am at about 32000 miles and am at 3/32 and 4/32 tread depth on the tires. I have rotated them regulary, not an agressive driver and have never done burnouts.
Trying to see if thats the norm with these tires as I look for replacements... Thanks for your input

Assuming you're talking about the All-Season P Zeros...with 32K, you've done well. The guy who had my car first didn't rotate them, I don't think, so they were done by 24K. I've got about 17K on my second set and they are probably going to last until at least 30 I'd say. I rotate them every 5K.

The OEM tires are a slightly softer compound then the same aftermarket tire. I would lean towards a higher quality tire for a replacement. Nitro ha s a new one called Motivo that is a great all season tire that should last 60k with the type of driving that you described. My stockers lasted all of. 37 miles before I replaced them with Nittos.

32k miles isn't bad at all for a Mustang. Can you get more, sure, but you have to been keenly aware of all the subjective items that affect a tires overall life.
Some variables are:
- speeds driven
- road surface
- temperatures (road/air/tire)
- tire pressure
- weight of the vehicle
- alignment accuracy and type
- percentage of city or highway driving
- driving style (very subjective)
As to driving style, just because you aren't laying rubber, doesn't mean you are not causing increased tire wear. When you brake hard, change speeds rapidly, perform spirited/fast lane changes, accelerate quickly, you will cause accelerated tire wear.

i replaced the oem tires on my '11 5.0 at 15,500 miles. i thought the pirelli's were pretty good. I went with 255/45/18 bridgestone potenza 970's.
wow, 32000, i have never come close to that on original tires!

I am at 15000 and change and will probably change tires in the fall. Oddly, only the rears are showing any real wear. It's like someone has been stupid with the accelerator and turned tires into smoke.
