How long do your tyres last?

lordrobs · 28 Nov 2009 at 19:04

Around 25k on the back and 13k at the action end.

Muncher · 28 Nov 2009 at 19:10

Not changed the R888s yet but I think about 4,000 miles both front and rear.

Guv · 28 Nov 2009 at 19:38

About 8k on the rear, not sure about the fronts yet but probably 20-25k.

Last set of tyres last just under two years and only 7~kish..

rears. do they wear down

Gav · 28 Nov 2009 at 19:48

pah... I can beat you all......

52000 on my van (berlingo) before they were done.. and they were still legal when they were changed.. Only just mind you ..

Ages. probably 20k front and back. Most of my driving is just up and down a motorway/dc so really doesn't wear them that quickly.

That's Michelin Pilot Exalto 2s.

Seriously ages, my car runs minimal toe to reduce drag and the energy savers are rated at 400 treadwear at 40psi on a 850kg car.

Probably push 50k. Will take a while to find out.

No idea, I normally scrap cars after a year or so.

loltim · 29 Nov 2009 at 13:30

I'm not sure either, i don't ever recall recording my mileage when I buy tyres...

deus3x · 29 Nov 2009 at 13:36

I'm normally forced to change them from punchers

that would be punctures :-p

About 10k on the front and 15k from the rears (MK5 GTI)

Mum's E-class had Michelins replaced at 45k from the original set, crazy!!

MrMoonX · 29 Nov 2009 at 18:16

just had to replace my third front tyre due to a pothole, had developed a bulge in the sidewall, im getting sick of the roads round here. Not paying for goodyear eagle F1 again if the potholes get to them before I wear them out

I've had less than 3k from some Avons on my old Golf, I did drive hard almost all the time, not flooring it in first or anything though.
I'm never never buying Avon's again.
A similar style of driving got me 10k on Sport Contact 2's.

My ZV3s had done 12k on the back (4mm tread) and the front had 8k on them and had 6mm tread before i rotated them.

Have done about 11k of mainly B road driving on Firestone Multihawks and have about 6mm left on the fronts and more on the backs.

rear about 3500-4000 in winter, about 3000 in summer... front about double that

Same, 4k on rear and about 7k on the front. That was running BT 016's, now running 2ct's.

Replaced when they start going bald or punctured!

a1ex2001 · 30 Nov 2009 at 13:32

I get the impression that Goodyear NCT5s are hard as nails, I thought the set on the front of my Mondeo would need changing within 10K when I picked it up as they didn't have a huge amount of tread left. I got just over another 20K out of them before i finally chopped them in with a couple of mill to spare.

mjt · 30 Nov 2009 at 13:35

no idea as i haven't gone through a set that i've bought yet

the stock runflats on my dad's E60 lasted 35k though. although it's motorway only and he covered that distance in the best part of 4 years
