I have the original sportcontact6 on the stock 20 inch rims and I got almost 31k but that was with a lot of highway driving.This thread is mainly looking at the stock tires for the Civic Type R (SportContact 6) which Honda states could last less than 10k miles. I don't think anyone here has been able to push those tires more than 15-20k.
I wonder if these tires have mixed quality, which I have heard before about OEM tires that are typically purchased in bulk to be placed on a car at the factory. I drive 80-20 in town vs. freeway as a daily driver, and the Contis only lasted 10.9k miles. Maybe those of you who have experienced greater mileage ended up with a better set of tires than those of us whose tires were done much earlier. And I check the pressures monthly and have them rotated every 3k miles too. Recently, I turn off the VSA around town as I have read on this forum that when on, it may activate the brakes more when I assume put more wear on the tires?I squeaked by to 10,000 but they were shot at 8,000
Baby em for the first 350-500mi, and those r fanfuggintastic tires.4450, including 3 heavy track days. Mich PS4S being put on next Friday.
