Yeah, I share the same concerns. I don't want to ruin and would rather save the Advans for dry seasons. We visit my in-laws in Oregon where snow is abundant during the Winter season, I'm seriously considering those winter pkg. deals. Not to mention, snowboarding at North Star and Squaw Valley in Tahoe.

sup colby. well if u want to save ur thread on the tires then go for it. but if u worried about the tires being summer tires... you wouldn't have to worry because remember i had my car since last nov and went to dry and wet =)

I just wonder what is the average mileage you can get on the stock Advans in normal driving?

Under regular driving, about 15-17k miles. I have 11k miles on mine right now and they still got good tread left on them. I've mostly commuted on my tires, which feels like a total waste.

The advans suck in heavy rain. I am considering alternatives for the winter.

Just ordered a set of Goodyear F1 GS-D3s to replace the Azenis Sports (which suck even worse in heavy rain--especially when heavily worn). They look like they'll be pretty good in the rain... However I'm told they're not very good for autocross; oh well, c'est la vie.
