Alfonso,
That will be completely up to you  I think you will get atleast 10,000 miles out of them. |

My first set of rear tires only got about 5k miles on them. Of coarse thats when I first got the car. My second set already has over 5k and they are not even half wore out. I run the 315/45ZR17 F1 Supercars at $380 each. Since they don't make them anymore and they cost an arm and a leg I am more careful how I drive.
Or atleast I try to be.

Tires are like condoms... Some last a long time, some don't. You can waste a nice set of street radials in 2-3 hours of spirited driving, or they might get you 7500-10,000 miles. I wouldn't expect more then 5,000 with a heavy foot though.

I have found that the Good Year F1's have a lot of outstanding qualities.
But tread life isn't one of them.
I have them on one of my street driven VW's (Heavily modified suspension, about 300 HP, driven very hard) and I got 7k miles on my last set. I did buy them again though, because they perform really well.

I purchase a couple of of rear's each year and after four years, I still do not know what my gas mileage is.

Checked with my resident engineer and he came up with this formula
Horsepower x Shoe Size = Tire Life
