Tire wear

Please provide data on the rate of tire wear on your i8. This is an awkward poll, as the mileage different owners have complicates matters. Most of you have likely not yet replaced your tires, so you will need to estimate based on current wear. Some of you may install winter tires. Some may have different brands and sizes of tires. Please provide additional info such as how aggressively you drive, front vs. rear wear, etc. in your replies.

Rears worn to the wear bars at 16,000 miles, estimated 3,000 of those miles put on the "winter" tire package, so I think 13,000 miles spent on those tires.

Fronts still viable.

i8, daily driver. Not driven hard, basically ever. Does some occasional 320 mile trips, but most miles spent on my way to work and back, where it charges at my office.

I was at around 10,500, so I opted for the 10,000-12,500.

Are the numbers miles or kilometers?

Similar pattern to Shawn, but I occasionally do drive as fast as the car will go. 14k miles total - prob about 9k on summer tires, 5k on winter ones. All still looking good. So I'm going for the 12.5-15k bracket.
