Glad to hear others are getting some miles on their ZL1. I have 2,050 miles in ten months. 1,200 were during the first week I owned it

IcePick06 · 01-25-2013, 12:35 AM

mine is a DD too, I'm at 10k miles...still strong

6000 miles in seven months, tires still look good.

Happy_Dan · 01-25-2013, 09:00 AM

7,000 on mine, that is the same as it was in November!
Been just enough snow and salt to keep it banished to the heated garage. Can't wait to get it back out again!

I went to Goodyear's web site and there is no tread life rating for F1 G2 tires. This in my opinion is due to the high performance capabilities. If you can pull 16,000 miles or 20,000 km I'd say you are doing quite well. Anything above that is stellar! If you drive lax you will get there but if you drive the car for its intended purpose then I would expect to see that number cut in half and if you track the car expect lots of fun but no tread life! Tire Rack has the tires at around 499.00 ea for the rear and 479.00 ea for the front. Around 2000.00 per full set. Pretty fair pricing for the performance and massive sizes.

Is there a comparable tire from another brand that would last longer, or is this pretty much the norm for tires of this type?

Discount tire has them at around $350 give or take 20 bucks or so each tire.

1300 miles since May. Just can't seem to get any miles racked on my Z. I always have people offering to drive it so I can reach the 1500 mile mark. Such good friends I have!

I can't wait to experience what all you guy's are talking about!

I clearly have no grounds to complain after seeing your situation. I got to enjoy 167 miles in the car. Although it might be awhile before I get to enjoy another 167.

The cold snap arrived Sunday morning and I haven't been able to drive the car since. We're supposed to get 1-3" of snow tomorrow so it looks like I may have to go another week without driving it. Man this winter sucks!

We just got hit here with some snow as well. Hopefully you will be driving your Camaro soon. It is definitely a difficult wait.

In this order, sunroof, HUD, acceleration, and cornering. This is from a woman's view. The car has not traveled in the snow just back and forth in and out of the garage. We have a level drive with a 1/4" from the asphalt to the concrete and the ZL1 got stuck one the lip and had to get a faster run to go in the garage. You should put warning stickers do not travel at speeds over ____ mph with the sun roof open. LOL

They are rated for prox 12000 miles, we have 16000 and hope to get another 10000 miles. Many people have only gotten 10000 miles on a set.
