Eagle LS2 tire life

Just got a 2018 2.5i limited

it has the eagle LS2 tires

 

I am wondering how many miles people have gotten on these tires before needing replacement

or if you have gone 40,000 miles and they are still good

 

thanks

Replaced mine at 44. Probably could have made it to 50.

Mine are at 28k miles and were just measured at 5/32. Figure I'll be replacing them around fall of next year and should be around 40k miles at that point.

Mine are half worn at 44k. No problems at all. Rotate very 5k.

Expect another 15k.

I work for good year best tire for our cars is gonna be the toyo exstenza hp realy good tire

I'm at 81k, getting close!!

I'm at 81k, getting close!!

 

holy moly. are you driving in a test facility with the car jacked up

 

didn't think they were even rated to go that far. aren't they 60k tires?

 

good for you if they safely went that far. you are now saved up for a good set of Michellins

i went 50k and needed to replace before NE weather. If I lived in non-snow area they could have gone to 60k. Rotate every 6k.

To be fair when I replaced mine at 44k, there was still 4/32 and 3/32 left of tread on them. If it was summer I would’ve ran them longer but I had a long road trip in the winter so I replaced them.

Not a Goodyear fan AT ALL. Only Michelin's and Continental's for my cars. Goodyear is junk and has been going down hill for years.

All season friend has them on his built sti and loves them

we have 34k on our 2017 Leggy and the stock good years are garbage. we rotate every 5k with every oil change. the outsides are wearing badly. they will need to be changed before 50k for sure, but I am happy about that. Was never happy with how they performed, especially in the winter. Going to finally get a quality tire on this car.

I have 36k on the Goodyear tires and they are around 4/32 left. If winter wasn't a thing I could probably get another 10k out of them, but I got a set of Yokohama Avid Ascends to put on in a month that I am looking forward to trying out next. for $80 a piece and rated for 85k, they will have to be absolutely terrible for me not to like them

 

If they stink in the winter, Ill probably get snow tires next year, but the LS2's were fine in anything 3 inches or less of accumulated snow on the road so I'd expect the Yoko's to do similarly for at least the first year since they start at 12/32nd tread.

 

In my opinion, if the tires that come with the car can make it past the 36k warranty and are safe to drive in the rain and light snow then you can't complain too much. The LS2s don't do anymore than that, but I don't think they offer any less either. And considering only people on these forums actually care about tires, 80% of people out there wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a cheap new tire and a really good new tire and would probably think some cheap knockoff tire with a name like "Extreme Road Gripper Deluxe XL+" would be better than a good Michelin (is that the doughboy?) tire. lol

The OEM LS2 tires are great as long as the car is parked

Update. 91k and they will be replaced before winter!

I have 15K and one winter in Colorado on mine. 6/32 remaining. They don't seem like junk but there is no comparison to a set of Michelins. I was going to jump early but hate to throw tires away this early. I look forward to the Michelins, but may go another winter.

I dumped them at 500 miles during winter, well I sold them to a local girl who had pretty bad tires.

 

I just can’t deal with LS2 tires, it sucks driving up the mountain in the winter.

Update. 91k and they will be replaced before winter!

 

Wow, props! I’ve never had tires last more than 40k miles due to either wear or one of the tires becoming unrepairable.

Replace mine in July at 52k. Had 5/32 left on the treads, rotated every 6k religiously. Daily driving was ok, winter weather, meh.

 

Probably didn't want to go through another NE Winter on them, but what finally motivated me to replace them was they were nail/metal magnets. Two had plugs, one had two, and one of those was an inside patch because the tire shop couldn't get it to stop leaking. I think that was the one that started dropping pressure on the hottest day of the year during my nasty commute out of Boston.

 

Dropped a set of Yoko Advans on the car. Rides and handles so nice now. Sometimes a little loud on some stretches of the highway, but they are also a performance tire.

I'm considering changing out the stock Goodyears on my wife's '18 Legacy 3.6R. They only have 16,000 miles so far but she does fairly demanding Colorado canyon commuting on a daily basis. Has anybody upgraded to Continental Extreme Contact DWS06? Seems like a very reasonably priced alternative with a good review score on Tirerack.com, especially compared to the stock Goodyears.

I guess we are neighbors... I commute to Boulder. Last years was fine. I have even been in snow over the hood but that's just dumb-I won't willingly do that anymore. I think where I'm at, I'm ok for another season. If I lived in Estes, I would upgrade. I (and many) have had the Conti's DWS and they were great. I would get the Michelin's now however. Those snow over the hood experiences was in a FWD with Michelin Defenders. The Michelin's I got were not that much more expensive (I used Discount tire) and came will a 100 dollar VISA. Also I think they were rated to 90K miles? Something ridiculous. The Contis will do you fine I bet. I did a quick look and the Conti DWS and the Michelin A/S Pilot were about the same price. Good luck either way....

2017 at 25k miles now. Looking like I'll make it into the mid 40k miles. Seems like the norm. 80% highway.
