How long do your tyres last?

BigBruiserAl · 30 Nov 2009 at 13:38

I get about 4,000 miles out mine lol

My Parada Spec 2's lasted 5k on the front and 8k on the rear, The Toyo T1R's before then lasted 8k on the front, Not sure on the rears as they still had a good 3/4mm left in them when i swapped the wheels over.

my fronts are on 36k and just about need replacing

For some reason that made me fully LOL.

Just replaced the original tyres on the X5 at 43,000 miles! Michelin MVX40 Plus.

They only needed replacing because the sidewalls had small cracks in them and it looked as though the rubber was perishing. Plenty of tread left though.

replaced fronts @ 32k on my Insignia, rears will be ok to 40k at least.

Fr0dders · 30 Nov 2009 at 21:43

32k on an insignia already ?

crikey they've only been out 18 months at most. Thats some mileage.

P_A_N_I_C · 30 Nov 2009 at 21:59

35k since January, it's been a busy year 0.o

feels like the brakes have worn out to, almost time for the 2nd service :/

One of the chaps in our office just told me that he gets through front tyres in just under 9000 miles in his 159 Ti Sportwagon... then he told me how much they were each :eek:

ouch!

19" wheels do look fantastic but they come at a cost I guess!

Begbie · 1 Dec 2009 at 12:39

Not sure, easily 12k though as normally only do motorway journeys atm.

GJUK · 1 Dec 2009 at 13:39

Eagle F1 are about 14 months old..with about 17K on them...not to bad as it a Impreza Hawkeye STI....I going to double check with I changed them as that some going..all 4 are wearing about the same...and I done a track day as well...if that the case I well chuffed as there still a good amount of tread on there

Firestar_3x · 1 Dec 2009 at 13:42

You must drive like a pansy on the road i was always under the impression the Impreza and Evo went through a full set of tyres in a max of 10k?

K1LLSW1TCH · 1 Dec 2009 at 13:46

My last set which were Toyo's lasted me around 25,000. That's on a crappy Hyundai Getz. The tyres are worth more than the car almost.

Dup · 1 Dec 2009 at 13:47

Front tyres on the CTR lasted 6-8k, rears ~20k.

MX5 rears will probably last another tank of fuel but then they cost about 5p in comparison

SoliD · 1 Dec 2009 at 13:48

My Eagle F1's lasted about 7k last time out, but the vreds I have on there now have done about 6-7k so far and have about 4mm left. So plenty of tread left in them. Rears probably 15-20k if not rotated.

How much does a pair of F1s set you back? Four, possibly six (including the fronts) tyres a year for just over average mileage? Jeez.

F1's are 100 a corner or were when I got them. They were driven hard and had about 2mm left when they went, to be honest they werent ideal for the 220 too little sidewall strength for all that weight up front.
