I've put ~30,000 miles on each of my last two sets of F1's and these are done. I've run the Bridgestone Winter Dualers ~10,000 a year for the last 4 winters and they're done too.

I just ordered 4 Toyo Proxies yesterday from Treadepot ($770 delivered). The current Tire Rack deal on the lesser F1's looked good, but...

I replaced two a few months ago at 15k miles, wear was about 65% on all four, but two had been patched from nails/screws and did not want to risk it on a road trip. I put the new ones on the front and I'm enjoying burning up the old rears and plan to replace them in a month before rainiy season is in full swing down here. The FTVB is helping with that.
I always seem wear tires out fast, alot of other people do as well down here in FL, I guessing with the roads being made with crushed shells and the heat.

15,003 miles replaced all 4 today. Rotated every 3-5K miles and only driven on sunny days. FYI, the 108 codes are molded on the sidewalls.

I got 47000 out of one of my tire, if I hadn't got nails in 2 tires and one stolen who knows if I could have gotten 47000 out of them all.

Jeez! How do some of you manage 30k + miles on your F1s? I'm only at about 11k and already I am considering new tires

Iam with SVT_KY.......don't bother rotating them, that way you only have to buy 2 tires every 10K miles

No kidding! That's kind of the same boat I'm in...not too bad, but they're not all that great either!
