Great Tyre Mileage!

[Horatio Caine]

I've just replaced the Tyres (Michelin Exalto 2's) on my wife's 55 plate 182, on the front were the Original Rears, so they were good for almost 7 years & 56K miles....
Hope these Pilot Sport 3's are as good.

Tyre are usually only rated for 5 years - id not want to be driving on older ones, I see to many blow outs caused by that!

Still on the mileage front, thats pretty good going!

I used to get 5000 road miles out my Eagle F1's

PE2 - oustanding tyre IMO. That's a hell of a lot of miles though, driven gently for all of them?

Russ, my Eagles were nearly as bad, cheap at the time and loads of grip in the dry but such a soft compound!

Russ, I know what you're saying, my Cousin has a '87 2.8 Capri (had it from new) still running on the Original Goodyear NCT's, HOLY S**T!
Only done 9k miles though....

Geezuz!!! Sod driving it on them lol, impressive miles on the Capri mind!

Thats some serious mileage if thats right.

PE2's are still available on Blackcircles.

 

[EmirK0]

Pretty impressive and good to hear seeing as iv just put them on mine lol

My dad has a pair on the rear of his Golf, still have 5mm after 50,000 miles lol! Think his fronts went after about 35/40,000 miles.

Seriously don't think my PE3s will last that long...

 

[UKBraderz]

Just got Michelin pilot 3's all round on mine, had the exalto's
before that! Brilliant tyres IMO

 

[benhwolves]

I'm still on my original PE2's all round (7.5 yrs old) but low mileage (19k) - shed loads of tread left and no cracks

 

[Jamie]

Front pe2s seem to do me about 15k - no idea how those have lasted so long.

 

[Sam]

I've had my pilot sport 3's on my car for 45,000 now and they are just nearing the limit.

They've never let me down once.

My front PE2s lasted about 20-21K for the 1st pair. Now the car is on 57K and the fronts are now on Hankook,s, 3rd pair. My rears are the originals.
