21k on the original tires. I could have waited a bit longer to replace, but the local shop had a good deal going.

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 have the original sportcontact6 on the stock 20 inch rims and I got almost 31k but that was with a lot of highway driving.

I'm at 11,000 and have rotated them myself at about 8,000ish. I predict I'll probably get at least 20,000 out of mine. The fronts were slightly worn when I rotated them to the rear.
I'm close to the first tip of the wear indicator on the rears but quite a ways above wear indicator on the fronts.
I suppose I could just buy a pair when the rears wear and rotate the fronts back there.
I do very little highway just commuting average speed of 45-55 and live in FL Orlando area we have great roads, no frost heave no potholes to speak of on my commute. Sadly no curves, no canyons, no isolated straightaways.
Did I mention I love FL? No winter tires, no rust.

I think Iā€™ll get around 15K. Hard to tell though because I swap wheel sets for autocross. At least 10-15% of my mileage is on those tires. I have 3500 miles on the original set. I had to have one replaced due to damage, and the older tires donā€˜t have noticeably more wear than the brand new one.

20k miles here. A couple HPDEā€™s and being lazy rotating. I was waiting for them to wear out so I could buy some Titanā€™s in 18s.

I squeaked by to 10,000 but they were shot at 8,000
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 hope the Hankook summer tire I bought to replace them (..they already have 13k miles) last until a minimum of 20k miles of wear.

I daily my 19, had on the oem conti sports for 13k. I probably could have went another few thousand miles before changing because I do a lot of highway driving. But with all the snow and shit, I could feel my current tires slipping way too easily. So i decided to opt for the Contis DWS06 and i love them so far.
