I have heard this too. One of the reasons I went for Michelin, despite being more expensive. So far I have 22k miles from my front PS5's, although I will be changing them within the next 3 months as the inside edge is wearing and was picked up as an advisory at MOT time in February.

Cheers! I will see how much they last. I am hoping its just the initial wear that is quick. Online reviews did say they last longer but you can only learn with experience. I am happy with their grip though. Michelin or Bridgestone will be my next set if these wear out quickly than expected.
Looking at a set of these, where did you get those prices and deal please?well the SC7s haven't lasted long.
I could probably get another 500miles out of the fronts but with summer coming I've decided to put x 4 new SC7 on the 45s.
The PS4s were 259.99 per corner compared to 169.99 and a further £80 off when buying 4 tyres. No brainer really

The car came with SC6 and they lasted roughly 8k miles of hard driving. The SC7s are a much better tyre IMO

I'm not a car person but why is the tyre narrowing at the edge, is the rim wider than it should be? It's like sized up a rim (or fitted a tyre that isn't wide enough)

Just a heads up for anyone running Goodyear F1 Supersports, You may want to have a close look at them.
I've seen a few Audi's of late with the OE tyres on the first MOT looking like this..
Opening up those splits shows the cords, and I've failed the cars for that.
Not great for 3 year 15K mile tyres.

It's not just the Super Sports, sorting MOT for my mum's car and the 3 year old Goodyear Efficientgrips were the same deep cracks all round and in-between the tread blocks.
Am I being thick? What am I looking at here? Where's the problem?Just a heads up for anyone running Goodyear F1 Supersports, You may want to have a close look at them.
