That depends a lot on how you use them....
My OE wheels & tires are track day only.... so they won't last long

They're actually not too bad at the track...
Once you get a couple of heat cycles into them they stick a lot better.

Whilst I agree with !
I should have stated, Im in dispute with the leasing company about replacement of tires, They have the replacements due at 12K miles but I cant see the originals getting past 7K. My local stealer reckons 10 - 12K would be average. I cant believe that ? What do you think ? Road use only in my case , have I got a leg to stand on or is it time to put $$$ down for a new set? |

Amazing that your lease includes replacing your tires, but tires and brakes are consumables as far as I am concerned and your mileage out of each depends entirely on how you drive your car.
I for one am incredibly easy on brakes - on the streets or out on the track. I am a momentum driver and consider the "go slow" pedal to be evil and to be avoided at all costs unless necessary. I have friends who like to do track time who are proud of the fact that they can destroy a set of pads in a single day when I can get 5 or 6 events on the same pads and have no problems at all keeping up with them. At the same time I have also taken a set of Kumho Victoracers down to the cord in 3 events too. Drive carefully and I am sure 12-15K miles is a trivial goal. Spend all your time going sideways through turns and they can be corded in less than 5K miles. If the leasing company laid it out in advance that they aren't going to replace prior to 12K miles they have no legal obligation whatever to replace them until your odometer says that this is true.
