P Zero Nero Life Span

How many miles have people gotten out of their OEM tires? I'm at 27K and think they look pretty worn. Anyone go longer?

Assume Conti DWS06 in the 275 size is the go-to based on what I've read.

Thanks.

I have 24K miles on mine, they still look like they are less than half worn, and I CAN’T wait to replace them. I though my wheel bearings were shot but the dealer said it’s the tires. This was nearly 10K miles ago. Waiting for the winter to end so the potholes will be filled so I can replace with something else size 275.

I got less than 20K out of my set.
Replaced them with 265/20 Goodyear Eagles which lasted about 30K. Never felt right.
Now on a set of Toyo Proxes 4+ 275/20 - they were great for the first couple of thousand miles, but I'm at about 5k now and there's a lot of lateral motion on enthusiastic cornering. No issues on braking or acceleration. Basically means I don't push them hard as I don't trust that they'll keep the car on the line I put it on.

One of mine developed a side bulge, probably from a pothole or uncovered manhole. Too much tread life to retire early so I ordered a shaved replacement. I’ll go with 275s to replace and I’m thinking maybe Michelin.
