    How long are F tyres lasting you? post mileage/make!

    hi looking at renewing the fronts again; using the original spec ContiSport1s and they're seemingly not managing much more than 10k, which is becoming a bit of a pain guessing it's partly to do with the car's geometry, and partly Conti's softness. susp is std, it's all on road, and isn't...
