Hi i recently got my is-f and i was wondering what the tire life on the potenzas should be. Looking at the tires the tread doesnt look to thick.

Performance tires don't last to long, especially if the car is "pushed" into corners. So much depends on how you drive and where you drive.

10K to 20,000 miles I would estimate average life

I agree, but if you have some heavy track time in the mix, that could be shorter. We went through a set in about 2600 miles of heavy track time.

I believe everyone will get around 8k-10k...again depends on how you push it. We have had an IS-F were I work for 1 year and the tires were done at 9,500...being pushed hard.

You've had an IS-F at work for a year now?!? Where do you work?

Hate to be anal with you guys, but I got a lecture from a certain person for using the - one time in the name, it is IS F, not IS-F. But you guys can use it way you want though. LOL

Saw one at our dealership has the same type of tread life warning sticker on the window I have seen on GS's and others that come with run-flat's.
This one said owners may experience full life of usable tread in under 15,000 miles.
(GS stickers say it's rated for about 20,000)
