I get 3 or 4 months out of a rear tire, or 2500-3000 miles. Unless it gets a sidewall cut.
Not exactly a true statement. Depends on rider weight, tire pressure, average temperature and how nice or how ****** the paved surfaces are that you ride on.
A 225 lb guy is going to wear out a tire faster than a 150 lb guy.
Strava indicates that I have 3500 miles on my 700 x 32 GP5000s right now. They are still in good shape and will be good for a while yet. Trek Domane and I'm 190 lbs.
These tires are not pricey. If you poke around they usually can be found for $45 or less.
