How Long Did Your Stock Tires Last?
Mine lasted 45,000km and they are just about at the indicator, meaning they need to be replaced soon! That's crazy...

Rep Power: 0 Still going strong at 8,600km. 
Granted these Firestones are not the greatest tires, but they have gotten me through this winter without any major problems and are 110% better than the stock Michelins that came on my old 1.6EL. I wish they were a little wider and lower profile though, oh well I fix that when I replace them.

Rep Power: 0 I think I ran about 70km and their about 60% left, they were not even winter driven. I personally didn't like them. Maybe that's why they changed them on the newer models.
the stock firestone's are supposed to last well over 100,000 km but i guess we all drive our cars differently.
i drive like a f*cking old fart to save as much tread on my summer tires as possible. 18" parada spec 2's ain't cheap and i'm trying to stretch the treadlife to at least 4 summers.

Rep Power: 286 wow... I'm so surprised to see that tires only last like 50, 000 kms. I thought the majority of tires should last around at least 80,000 to 100,000 kms.
I don't have those firestones that came with all the previous civics. I got bridgestone potenza's on my car. Only 1100 kms so far, so can't really tell yet.

Another thing as well. American is not a language, so you technically can't speak american.

Rep Power: 0 WTF does a wear indicator look like?!?! 
I'm running the stocks for at least 50-60k already, and running Arctic Alpins in the winter. My winter rubbers almost gone... Noooo
Auto tranny owns me, I can't burn out the cheap stock Firestones

Rep Power: 0 I'm at 67k after switching to snow tires for a second winter (first winter with Firestones, *shiver*) and will need new tires for the next summer on.
So yeah, 40-50k is absolute max for these crap OEM tires.
