How many miles did you get on your first set of tires

I'm curious to know what the average amount of miles the first set of Bridgestone tires will get? They have a pretty hard ride and look forward to replacing them but when it makes sense. How many miles did you get on your Bridgestone's?

Unless you drive really conservatively the rears will be gone before 20K. The Frts will last 35K. So you can run 2 sets of rears to one set of Frts if your teeth & back can put up with the jarring ride of the RFT's.

I changed mine early at 6500 to get out of the rft and because I needed something for cold weather. I think most get 10k to 12k if they run them out. The rears will go first. Of course it depends on your driving style, too, so, wait for it...YMMV.

Definitely a case of YMMV.

I got the original 19" RE050A down to 4/32" in 7000 miles and for the replacement set of 18" RE050A I , I got the rear down to the wear bars in 8000 miles (the fronts had another 2k-4k miles from a tread depth standpoint, but the shoulder and outer edge were worn down, so I replaced the set)

front tires lasting 35k..wow.. that is some pretty conservative driving.

Rears were done at about 17,000.. Changed fronts at the same time though they had another 5,000 or so left on them.
