How many miles can I expect to get from OEM MCS tires

I have read repeatedly to ditch the run flats asap, but if I'm buying a used 2006 MCS, how many miles can I expect to get from them, assuming mostly highway driving, proper inflation/rotation/etc.

I got about 15,000 miles out of my original Goodyear RSA runflats mounted on the 17" s-heavies. I rotated them every 5,000 miles. My car was totaly stock during this time.

If the tires on the used car are the original ones, they may be spent already.

It depends very much on the style of driving. The tires on my sister's MCS lasted for ~40K.

ok, thanks guys - sounds like the best thing to do is to just buy tires off of this great site.
