How many miles did your Enasave (OEM) tires last?

I hate TPMS. I really wish there was a way to remove, or turn off, the TPMS lights on the dash. I worked at a tire shop a long time ago and it's literally just looking at the tires to see if they're flat or not. I don't need no stinkin' TPMS to tell me it's flat, I can see that the tire is flat! lol!

No, but my buddy used one in the interior of a car he was working on and it was 167.
During a heat wave in Southern, IL when I was a kid, I remember my mom cooking eggs on the sidewalk. They used to say on the radio it was hot enough out to fry an egg so she tried and sure enough lol.

In Europe, Mitsubishi recommends 40 PSI (Bridgestone Ecopia tyres here).

My Front tyres of Bridgestone Ecopia lasted 35000 km. Rear looks like they are half way now. I have 14 inch rims and tyre pressure is 40 PSI (2.7 bar) as Mitsubishi recommends here in Europe.

What size are those tires? Bridgestone doesn't sell a 14" Ecopia in the United States. :confused:

I'm running 185-55-15 Ecopia EP422 Plus tires on my car right now. These have a 70,000 mile tread-life rating. I'm hoping for 100K miles out of these things! :eek:

165/70/14. I don't know if they sell them here in Europe, but they came with the new car.

my oem tires lasted 34k miles, at least the front ones, the rear ones had plenty of tread left but i opted for a different tire size instead of paying 900 for a set of four.

I havent gone to the stealership for anything they screwed me enough when i bought my car. But i was told when i tryed to get stock tires my size was limited so i went a size wider on the tread and made the car handle better

The stock size is only offered by a couple manufacturers here...Bridgestone and Dunlop. They always have to be ordered. Going a half-size bigger, to 175/65/14, gives a few more options, and often they will have that size on hand.
