When to replace tires

[racerxj8]

Hi,

I have a 2023 AGT -- about 10K miles on it.

Any ideas on how long the Pirelli 21 inch tires should last on Florida roads?

Just curious.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Until they have 4/32" of tread left?

I have a 2022 GT 16,000 miles and 21 inch tire here in Naples, Fl. I am going to replace them this fall at around 18,000 miles. I probably could go a bit longer but looking forward to putting Michelins on it. Mike

I've used Pirelli P-Zero performance tires before and found them to be soft(er) (good- er).
~ about 20k miles.
If you get more then switch to Conti or Mich , as you drive like my wife.
I want my performance tires to be soft...

Please note that if you have a sidewall bubble in your 21" Pirelli you likely have a bent rim as well. Any force strong enough to break the sidewall cords can bend your soft alloy rims. That's why forged wheels ... (Dream Edition wheels ... ugly/beautiful).

Pirellis get loud when they wear - aside from the actual tread life, I would replace when you hate driving your silent car because the tires are so damn loud

2/32 is the legal limit. Drove mine to between 3-4/32. No real strong opinions on the matter. Over time you get conditioned to the grip level and noise level.

The new LM2 have a slightly harsher ride (not noticeable after a few days). Grip is better, but whether that is from the newness or design is beyond me.

FYI: 2/32 is where that small "bridge" between the treads is height wise. You will notice it if you run your finger along it. That is the physical marker for 2/32.

I got 23k here in San Diego (GT).

It really depends on the road conditions where you live and how you drive. You most likely will find the front tires wear out faster than the rears. This is because the car is so heavy it tends to push the front tires hard through turns. I have just replaced all four of my 21" Pirelli LM1 tires with the newer LM2 version. My fronts were at the replace recommendation wear level and my rears probably could have gone another 3-5K miles but I decided to replace all four with just under 20K miles. I drive aggressively on curvy mountain roads frequently so my mileage was less than others may experience.

I agree -- it's noticeable.
