Goodyear eagle F1 wear life
I purchased a 2018 SS in March. I have 3000 miles now. What is the average life of the Goodyear Eagle F1 run flats?

I got 15k on them and was hitting the wear indicators... I pushed them to 20k and they were like slicks in the corners if I hit the gas. I drive the car spiritedly and hit corners harder than I would in my truck, but don't spin my tires or run it on a track.

I got about 15k out of mine before switching out to the Michelin Pilot Sports. They last much longer.

Thank you for you replies. I don't burn the tires or track the car. I'm trying to make them last as long as possible.

I just bought a '17 2SS with 100 miles on the ODO and it now has 1500 miles on it. I haven't abused the tires and assume they are still fairly like new. I bought the car for lots of reasons... I like it's looks, it's quick, I've always loved Corvettes and Camaros. I didn't buy it to race it or track it. I just want to poot around (year round) and goose the trottle a little now and then without killing myself.
My least favorite thing about new cars is the lack of a spare tire/run flats. I ordered a spare tire kit from Modernspare 2 weeks ago (not here yet). Because I already paid for them, I would like to get as much life as reasonable out of these stock F1's but after that I'm likely switching to something else with longer tread life, softer ride, cheaper. Maybe that will result in less grip but hopefully a less grippy tire will perform ok and hold traction well enough. Better rain driving would be a plus for me as well. I'd really like an all-season tire and sort of like the idea of the 560 AA A treadlife of the Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06. Right now they are at $870/set (I think they were about $50 cheaper a few weeks ago) and I think you could probably rotate them side to side which may help with wear as well but I'm not a tire expert (just chatted with a TireRack guy as he says yes, they can go side to side since not Asymmetric). At approximately 1/2 the cost of the OEM and possibly double the tread life, doesn't that make them cost about 1/4 vs OEM? I don't know if they would serve me well but I do like that math  Another idea I'm wondering about would be possibly buying a 2nd set of front wheels and running them on the back (maybe with some sort of spacer) so all 4 tires are the same size and rotatable but I really don't know anything about that. That would put less meat on the rear so that might not be best, but I'd be surprised if rears would fit up front. If it has been discussed on here before, a link to that would be much appreciated.

had to change the fronts due to nails in the tires but the rears are about 30% left with almost 18k miles and about 50 burnouts

The name of the company is Modern Spare. Look them up on the internet. $339 delivered. Comes with a 18 inch rim and tire, a low profile jack and a lug wrench. The spare tire is rated up to 81 mph. And you can drive on it for a while. Its not a donut tire. I have not recieved it yet. I ordered it 2 weeks ago. They have a 25 day wait to recieve the kit

Changed mine out at 10k and they were getting pretty slippery. Those twisty East TN roads weren't doing them any favors.

Only 3k on mine, still a lot of life left. I'll probably run with the herd, pick up the Modern Spare and change to non-run flats when that time comes. The Continentals EC DWS 06 seems to be everyone's favorite.
