it really matters if you have something soft like a z rated tire, those go quick.

On my 3rd or 4th depends because I go 1 set for winter and 1 for summer. Check this a couple of months ago >> Replacing tires?

I've got probably under 5K miles on my yokos & they still look new, eventhough I drive hard. Like trog said, you just gotta get 'em rotated

I have about 24K on my tires, time to renew. Kumho 712's, beans doesn't like them, but I LOVE them. Very grippy. Awful in the rain/snow but what do you expect from an ultra performance SUMMER tire 
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation
To know even one life has breathed easier
This is to have succeeded.

I just got Kumho 711's on my 17's. The last one's made it about 9 months. $80 a pop wan't bad though, out the door, too. Free balance and rotate for the life of the tire at Kauffman Tire (only in 4 states right now).
