Me and my Clio

[mac65]

Hi all, just joined the club, great, lots of info. Got a Dynamique 1.2 16v Would have included a photo, but not sure how too, but nothing out of the ordinary about it. Ive had it since new 52 reg. Done 22,000 miles, and have already changed tyres on the front, has any one else changed there tyres this soon?

Welcome to the club. 22000 miles seems pretty good for front tyres to last. To upload a pic use the 3rd button from the left and register on the uploader then use 2nd button from the left and copy and paste the html address of the pic and itll go into your post.

hahahahahahah!!! 22k miles?!?!?!
jesus! now DAT wud be a record!

well, i guess i dunno at all, but my MICHELIN stock tires mounted on my CLIO SPORT 172 2003 lasted about... lets see... WHOA! 12,500miles! HAHAHA thats amazing!
of course, it depends on the brand, michelin is known 4 its soft tires, hence, better grip, better handling, yet... faster tire wearing


cmon... wheres da fun in driving ur clio, whether its 1.2, 1.6, 2.0... with ur right foot barely touching da gas?

newayz, i dunno know what kind of tires the 1.2 has on, the fact is, the harder u drive, the faster ur rubber wears

so now ive got this BEAUTIFUL, eye-catching tread pattern... TOYOs PROXES T1-S 195/55/R15
i STRONGLY suggest this kinda tires if ur lookin for a new set 4 ur car!

My dci 65 tyres only lasted about 16k on the front although I do hammer it.

The ones Ive got on now are getting a bit worn after only 10k I think Ill be lucky to get another 6k out of them.
