How many miles will the Dunlop 7000 last ? 30,000 ? 45000 ?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Does anyone have any idea about how long the 18' inch tires will last? 30,000 ? 40,000 ? 45,000 ?

if its about time to get a set of new tires, i would recommend you to get Falkens, i cannot find those in West Coast, I've ran 50k miles with them and still have half the tread left on my maxima. Dunlops are made soft they would run out in 30k miles in rear, and about 10k more in front but your driving habits/rotating terms can change the life of the tires as much as twice longer/shorter.

I've used Falken's before (17s), but the Falkens I had run out after 18,000 miles. I suppose you're using a different set of Falkens. I don't have experience with Dunlops.

I have 10K on mine and I tend to be pretty hard on tires. With my driving style I would say they will last 35-40K. They aren't most sticky tires in the world but I have found them to be pretty well balanced. At this point I would buy another set unless something really better comes along.

Mine lasted 25,000 miles (18in.) and I had to get new ones. I went with the Michelin HydroEdge. They are suppose to last about 90,000 miles! Michelins were a little noisy at first but after about 100 miles they are great!
