I'm sure many has already replaced their OEM tires due to wear & tear. How many miles are you able to get out of your tires safely before replacing them?
I know its all depends on driving habit but I would like to get a general idea to plan/save for my tire replacements or tire/wheel replacement ahead of time.

Honestly, I don't think many people are at that mileage yet. I'm at 18,500 and the tires are starting to look pretty worn. I'm hoping they make 30k, but it looks more like 25k.

BTW, the sport and non-sport tires are Michelin Latitudes. The only vehicle with different tires is the base model, which comes with Bridgestones.

It's an H rated tire. Not exactly super performance tires. If you get car aligned when needed and your wheels rotated and balanced regularly, should get 40K miles.

H rating has nothing to do with the wear. It's the speed. There isn't always the correlation you would think.

THe rating to look for is the treadwear rating, which is 420 or 440, IIRC. Fairly decent.

On my '03 Touring my original tires have 43K. I keep them inflated to 33 pounds and regularly rotate them (front to back to front). Still looking good.

My 04MDX base has 40K miles. The tires have only rotated once, and they are still in good shape.

Different car, different tire, different drivetrain = NO comparison.
