Likely over 60,000 if you do mostly highway miles.

Dpcompt,

I am definitely NOT a fan of these tires. Road noise is excessive but I suppose that depends on the roads you are driving on.

We are replacing our Conti's here VERY SOON.....after some unfortunate nail/screw sidewall issues and two sets of two replacements (why does it always hit the new tires DANG IT!).....we are looking for other options.

The NICE thing about them is that they handle well....My wife puts less than zero stress on these tires but I tend to drive the "skate" like a go-cart....well I used to LOL.

YMMV but for us now, in another stage of life and new location in the mountains, we are looking for a smoother ride/less noise/better snow handling.

Just our observations....

Cheers
