How many miles did you get for V-rated tires?
Dear members, just wonder how many miles did you usually get for your V-rated tires? I usually only get 18K-20K. It's hard for me to believe some companies have 60K warranty on V-rated tires... Thanks.

12K is so low...definitely depending on how you drive. I also referred to regular drivings. BF goodrich advertised that its V-rated tires can be good for 60K.

Falken Ziex 512 VR16-225-50 10-12k Max
The official minimum is 1/16" averaged. My "Z" rated Falkens lost their outer thread to 1/8" at 7500. This doesn't qualify for any "adjustment" from Sears. Its just the outside block tread. BTW, I had the Sears 4 wheel alignment, brought it back twice for pulling. I consider 1/8" to be minimum.
The extremely noisy Toyo FZ4 on the car that are on the car now have 12k, and look and measure excellent, 3/16" tread left.
