Tyres- How long are they lasting

speuk · 11-21-2010, 05:53 AM

It would be interesting to know what mileage you are getting out of a set of tyres? With 20" run flats costing around £330 front and £360 rear longevity will be a key issue for running costs so I wonder if any members are yet on a second set of tyres and could share their experience on the forum, mileage when changed and make of tyre?

10,400 on my odometer and it appears that I have about another 5K miles left on the rear 20's, perhaps a bit longer on the front. My SA was somewhat amazed at the condition of my tires last visit. And mind you - I do not baby the car

Hmmm so sounds like about 15k for the rears. Anyone else like to post thier mileage and condition of existing set of tyres...also brand?

If your configuration had the same size front/rear, and you could rotate them, it would likely improve things. Obviously, won't work for you. Opting for the sport package or larger than standard tires/wheels has its consequences, both good and bad.
