    So my stock goodyears lasted 17.5k, right now they're down to the wear indicators/have cracks on the treads. And I only did 4 burnouts in their whole lifetime. Oh well, they sticked well in the dry (sucked in the rain) and I'm ordering new ones from Tirerack soon. How long did your stock tires last? And what is your opinion on the Yokohama AVS100?

    Mine lasted about 24k, but they sucked from about 15k on. Never liked the gatorbacks. Love the F1s though.

    I have the AVS ES100s on my Accord and I love them. Tread life is on the low end though. Great grip and pretty good wet performance. I just bought my first mustang and will probably get them on this when my tires wear a little more.

    Mine are still on the car at 46k. They're getting thinner on the tread, but are still driveable. My car does not see rain, so I don't have to worry about any wet traction. I'm planning on upgrading the rims and a new set of tires this year, but for now the Gatorbacks are still in service.

    Let me guess, you have drag radials in the rear?

    wow, you people getting more than 20k miles on the stock tires need to push any of those pedals a little harder... hell ive burned thru 1 1/2 sets of Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's on the front of my car since i got it last year, and thats only about 14k miles...

    im guessing the cobra brakes on the front could be part of my extra wear :)

    My stock tires lasted 38K miles, and they prob could have gone to 40-45K easily.

    The Bridgestone Potenza S-03's i replaced them with are MUCH better
