22.5k in my case. I could have gone a bit farther on the OEM Dunlop 8090's but could no longer resist the Siren's call of the Toyo T1R's.

The Dunlop's were actually quite good, but the T1R's are better in spirited highway & biway driving.

Don't recall which OE I had

My tires started to go at around 9,000 miles with some very aggressive driving!

Replaced with other wheels/tires (18x9.5 RPF1 275/35 Toyo T1r)
