M3s have been known to wear out their tires in 15,000 miles. Boxsters are known to wear through a set of tires in about 12,000 miles. i've heard that Acura NSXs can mow through a set of rubber in 7,000 miles or less. what street cars do you know of eat tire rubber like it's going out of style?

Mine..... don't really think that's what you're looking for though. :laugh: Tires are at about 5,000 miles right now, it'll need new ones by the end of summer. They've lasted wayyyy longer than I expected.

The Yokohama Advan A046 on Evo IX's last about 10k-12k miles.

350zs and g35 coupes eat rear tires pretty quick.

 

[BRealistic]

Cars with mad torx and staggered sticky wheels/tires (can't be rotated) seem to eat tires quickly, especially if driven with some enthusiasm.

Some vehicle ate through tires quickly due to basic suspension/alignment issues (some early 350Zs, 4x4 Tundra/Sequoya).

Did any front wheel drive car have this issue?

Well if you wanna get technical, FWD bias and eats em up pretty good:

IIRC, the Veyron suggests replacements every 6k miles, and that rubber is not cheap.

Came in here to post this. I would assume the Cayenne is just as guilty.

I destroyed two sets of Falken 912's in less than a year with my '91 Si...mainly from just beating the crap out of it on the streets. The car had practically no power but I had tons of fun sliding that thing around the rough streets of SF



I'm sure you could go 30,000 miles on a set with this car, but when you push every onramp and turn to tire screeching glory, you gotta expect premature wear. btw the car was aligned properly, too.

Depends how much you let your right foot get out of hand.

My car has 26,000 miles and it's on its fifth set of street tires. I don't consider that to be an alarming rate when I take into account how much fun the car is to drive.

My VR6 needed tires every 12K. That was with the Goodyears that came from the factory. I smartened up after a while and started buying something else.

I can only comment on the performance oriented cars that I have experience with though.

Cayenne's.....girl I work with has one. She needed new tires after 12k/mi.
