How is it possible that I only got 25k out of the stock tires on my 05 Mazda6S? That is embarassing, and considering I barely lay down any rubber more than 3 or 4 times in a week what the hell?!?! Has anyone else experienced such a poor millage out of their stock tires? I find it hard to believe but am going to have fun ripping the rest of the rubber off these things before my new one's arrive... heh ;*)

About 13k before mine (Bridgestones) needed replacing on my Mazda 6 Sport 2.3 !!! And I'm not a boy racer either (in my opinion).

If you burn out 3 or 4 times a week, no matter how hard you drive, that's going to significantly lower the tread life. I had my first set of tires for only 15K miles in my '04 mustang, I only visited the drags once for two runs, and maybe spun the tires once or twice a month. You're only going to get long tread life by driving within the speed limits, and taking it easy on the corners. Cornering hard kills tires fast too, and puts them under a lot of stress. You're lucky to get that much miles out of your tires thrashing on them that much.

Haha, yeah but who wants to stay within the limits? If I wanted to do that I would have gotten a toyota or something slow and economical like that. The whole point of a V6 is to open it up and if the tires can't hang with then I guess I need better tires, for instance, on order and less than 3 days away are my brand spanky new Perrilli P-Zero Nero's, which are going to laugh themselves stupid at how pathetic the stocks were by comparison. Can't wait to get those things... all I have to do now is burn out my clutch then I'll have my justification for dropping in a short shift kit and super lightweight fly wheel. I mean... not that I'm purposly trying to wreck certain parts on my car so I can get newer better one's... heh. So anyone know how I can justify getting a rear mounted turbo?
