I've got 42k on mine and at my state safety inspection 2 weeks ago, they said I should replace the fronts soon but the rears are fine.

It's called not driving like a moron, keeping air in them and rotating as recommended.

I have a SE V6 with the Mich MXV4s OEM all seasons.

Buno -- I'm guessing you have the Summer Toyo's?

I was at 4-5/32's with 34k on the clock.

The Car: 2007 Camry SE V6, 43,500 miles on odo, Original (but worn) tires. No mods to the car

The event: Corvette Club Auto-X at the airport

Outcome? I shocked everybody. I came in 4th out of 18 cars (10 Corvettes). 2 new C6 Z06's (one on slicks), and a 550+hp C5 Z06 beat me. Pretty damn good day!

wait till I get new tires and some suspension! I topped 70 mph on the back stretch. Pretty quick.

Also, when the rain came down, I owned all (including the WRX). the radar showed "RED" rain right over us (Severe), but those brave enough kept running. 45mph Slalom in the downpour. Couldn't get much better than that.

BMW club event tomorrow at same location.

I love my Camry.

Obviously you are a good driver! Congrats! Seasoned Autoxer and driver!

Seconded - I only replaced my OEMs at 39k because the right rear burst on a pothole - love MA roads replaced all 4

Nice autox day!

Sorry for not replying sooner. I have 43k miles on my car in 13 months for a reason .

Here is the only picture I have of me so far from the weekend...and yes, I still have to cut back to make it through the timing gate!



And are some of the other cars...

That looks like fun. Congrats and props to you.

It just goes to show, a good driver in a family car can beat a bad driver in a sports car.
