How many miles are people getting out of their re070s?

I did a couple searches, but couldn't find an answer. For 05 STI owners, about how miles have you gotten out of these tires? Also, please don't include tires that have been race-driven. I'm trying to get an idea of how many street-only miles I can have on these tires, so I can prepare for the purchase of a replacement set. Thanks.

It's a pretty low number from what I've heard (like 20k ish depending on driving.) I had a set that came used with my bbs wheels, and ate through them pretty quick with normal/aggressive street driving. Check into s03's. I currently have them on my wheels and I love them.

i have over 18k on my set on my 05 sti. i have TBE and like to accelerate quickly on to freeway.

i still have half the tread left. of course i've rotated my tires 2times already.... i found subaru's tend to eat up fronts real fast.

Interesting, on my 02 WRX my rears wore out like crazy, but then I was not rotating enough. Anyhow, good to hear that you
have gotten some decent mileage. I heard that those tires wore around 10-12k, which is an issue because my one month old 06 STI has 4k already, but it looks as if I don t have to run out and buy a new set next month. Thanks for the input.
