28,000 is pretty normal for the tires fitted stock. If you want better tire life go for 400 tire wear indices or higher..
There is no standard, just the UTOG rating for tread life. Higher performance, lower tread wear.
Honda chose pretty cheap tires for stock.

 

you wouldn't buy michelins based on what one set of thier universally known as crappy tires?(but you said you ran them on other cars....)

ugh kuhmos. not for me. good responsive tires, but comfy or quiet? no. tread is decent. wet grip however.....

is ATROCIOUS. they just cant get that down. you live where it rains? kuh-No's.

 

i swapped mine out at around 20k miles

 

i wouldn't say 28K is "only". but then again perhaps i'm just to used to 12K miles lifespan on motorcycle with last 2-3K being not fun anymore and at a times pretty scary as it approaches the end. and that's no crotch rocket either.

at 20K miles now (not driving much anymore), hopefully the stock will keep me through the winter (was awesome for the last one). perhaps next summer i'll get a fun set (with fun rims hopefully)

 

yah, each time i see the title of this thread it cracks me up.

 

I HATE MXV4s. I had a set on my accord from the factory, and they wore extremely quickly, and had no traction whatsoever, but they gave really good fuel mileage.

Meanwhile, I have been lowered in the fit since I bought it pretty much, have 33k-34k miles on it, and I still have like 5-6/32nds at least on my tires, nowhere near the Wear Bars. I just set the toe after lowering it on a laser alignment rack and never even rotate my tires. I just set my tire pressures to 35-37psi all the time, and it handles well, and rides nice.

 

Funny I found this thread as I just replaced the stock tires on mine today and I've got close to 39,000 miles on the original rubber with about 1/8 of the tread left. I did like the way the Dunlops handled in the rain. Now I got Toyo's that are supposed to last 60,000. We'll see.

 

Toyos are good tires. Great treadwear, pretty quiet. Reliable tires. Never had any issues with toyos at all, and they are reasonably priced.

 

Do anyone knows if there is any good current deal right now ? I needs to replace all 4 of mine tires after 31,000 miles. Thanks

 

check discount tire


i went up to orlando b/c they were the cheapest i could find. i got 4 205/50R15 on stock rims for about $350 mounted/balanced w/lifetime thingamajiggy <--must be a word, no red line....

falken firenza's were what i went with

check their website..google ftw...you can also order from their website but i don't think it's that much difference between their regular shop prices but i could be wrong

but on a good note..i drove up early wednesday morning, got there when they opened, 3rd customer in line...and i was back on my way home after 15 minutes

no muss, no fuss

and now i can go fast (in my mind )

 

hey guys..
I was wondering if this is a good deal...
Tires kingdom
4 tires of Sumitomo Touring LSV
retailed at $118/tire
they willing to put on 4 and rotation/balbance...
total of $468 out the door
Let me knows ASAP
Thanks

Oh Krab,
my tires is 195/55/15 NOT 205...
how does it looked with 205 on ? My is 2008 sport..is your 2009 ?
And where did you get that $350 in Orlando ? let me know

 

Discount tire has numerous 195/55x15 priced $65 to $99 including shipping and if you get new wheels too they mount them free also. Most of their tires have much better wear life.
And yes 205/50x15's l;ook good on stock wheels but better on 6x15/45mm offset wheels. cheers.

you got several in orlando area

mine was off of I-4...i don't remember it was really early. i was actually up there and back before i was really awake


but that's me.....


and i like how mine look on stock rims....kinda like a ninja in training.

you should be able to get a good deal, you just have to look and look and look and look and then buy..at which time someone else will launch an even better sale....just kidding

good luck


oh yea, i roll a 2007 Fit Sport
and if you get rims/tires...put up some pics

 

does anyone have a picture of 205/50/15 ? Can you please post it if you do, I just wants to see how it look..Thanks

 

I'm pushing it now, but my stock Dunlops are now at 41,000. Getting new shoes all around tomorrow. Sounds like I've been lucky. (but then again, I drive pretty conservatively. Very little hard driving on Angeles Crest.)

 

My '07 Fit has 35,000 miles on it and is due for tires -- maybe 1/32nd til I'm down to the wear indicators. I'm waiting for the tax refund to pick up some Michelins. They'll last me 80,000.

 

I've got a little over 36k miles on the original tires on my '08 Fit, probably another 5k miles or so of life left in them. Probably in the spring I'll have to get a new set of tires.

 

Stock tires always wear out fast.... mine went at 30K,... 1 tire had a bubble... I am very careful with tires. I rotate at 5K.

 

46,500 miles on my original Dunlops.

As I have no tread left it may be a time to change out tires.

Tom.

 

You got 28k? My stock tires were worn enough at 15k that I felt the need to replace them. I have the Fit base with the tiny 14" wheels though. Replaced them with 15" wheels and 195 series tire size from the Sport model, vast improvement.
