I imagine its life is pretty boring only time its has a vacation is when its on jacks or a lift.

.... seriously It depends how you drive and road condition doesnt it, your mileage may vary...as SPF 0 would say

treadwear of a tire does play a part in the life of the tires too..
i didn't know kumho made Z rated tires...is it the ecsta mx?

They make a few in 18s. Thier best summer tire is now the SPT - in 225/40/18, theyre Y rated (The highest, I think its like 186MPH, not that it matters.)

I have the ECSTA MX and I have been through 10K so far and there is still a lot of tread left. . . the driving style does play a big role on how long tires will last you

yea man, ive been really really busy with school so i havent had time to work on the car much. my tires have about 14k on them, but i kinna made the mistake of not having them rotated for a while, so the tires that wer in the front are much more worn than those that were in the back. im hoping they still last another 15k tho...

if you rotate them and stop doing 90mph then they might hehe

On my old tires...kumhos but not Z rated (716s), they front lasted 2 years (maybe about 24K) unrotated. Back were still very good..maybe 70% tread

I think Supra 712s (Most common Kumho Z rated tire I believe) might last about 2.0 -2.5 years rotated. It has a much more aggressive tread pattern, so its to be expected to be a bit less, but no less than 25K rotated.
