I have the stock Yokos and s-techs springs. I have 14,170miles and have taken my car to the dealer for all tire services (cause I get new ones for free when these go). I'm taken my car in the morning to get them rotated and that will probably give me 4K-5K more miles and then I'll need new ones so they will have lasted me about 18K-20K miles. Once I get my new free ones I'll get new rims with new tires and switch the rims out to the old when I take long trips.

I took my car in today and they said I needed new tires so stock Yokos lasted me 14,200miles (i am lowered on s-techs). I got my "free" tires I walked out of there paying $321. That was for my 15K maintenance, align, mount, and balance tires. I do have to say my car seems to be riding a lot better.
Oh yeah, they put new stock Yokos as the free tires. They wanted to put cooper tires on but I asked the guy to try and get the Yokos cuz that car just doesn't seem to be a cooper tire car.

Damn?!? I just finally replaced mine after a nail destroyed one of my rears (it still didn't blow). You guys must drive like it's the end of the world? I got 66k off of mine, no sidewall bulging and roughly 50% still remaining (I rotated them every other oil change). And by all means I drive spirited.
As for a full conclusion I was happy with them but I wouldn't get them again. Just got some Kumho's Ecsta's ASX and already in the wet I can feel a difference. I'll have to wait til Spring for a full report as they need to be broken in.
Man? You guys are gonna' be paying an arm and leg for tires if you're only getting 14k off of them?!?
