Q : How many miles have your tyres done

[woodney]

How many miles and on which make of tyre.
If anyone has any comments (good or bad) on different makes...such as increased tyre noise/better grip/etc ?

 

[Turkish]

My fronts only last 6k tops. I found the exaltos on the 182 better than the conti's on my 172.

 

[PYE21]

23k on PE2's!!!! Mainly motorway with plenty of swapping back to front.

 

[Chris n nic]

I get about 7k on my fronts but probably more than twice that on the rears. I find the conti`s are good enough for me. I did swap for Uniroyal Rainsports but changed them after about 3 days! They were like jelly tyres, went round a roundabout and it seriously felt dangerous. Since then I've stuck with the Conti's as I don`t want to waste another load of cash and a set of tyres that a s**t. I know the PE2`s are supposed to be great but I'm not willing to spend so much...)

 

[Rhys182]

^^^no offence but have you never encountered a roundabout! lol.

i'm the same as loony, 6K tops on fronts.

 

[Dubai182]

Still on my first set of PE 2's and have done 14k,85% motorway driving though. Fronts have maybe 3mm left but rears are at 5/6mm,good for another 6/7k i reckon.

 

[thedoc]

these's khumo ecsta's are lasting too frikin long, i cant get on with them, been on about 15k too (front & back - still got 5mm left too) - *need to drive harder

 

[GarethM]

my vredestein sportrac's have done 100miles

 

[rock]

I did about 75000kms on my michelin energys.

now with michelin pilots - don't think they will last as long tho.....

 

[Leeshez]

Mine have done nearly 12k front and rears. 11867 i think lol

 

[recaro182]

Just done 22500 on my original PE2's, mainly motorway miles and never swapped front and backs. Ive done plenty of thrashing round bends too, but i do run fairly hard tyre pressures. I cant beleive you guys only getting 6!!!! I do have a new set of PE2's waiting to go on at home thou as just got down to my markers.

 

[Ross M]

14k from my pe's and theyr gone so probs about 12k. plenty of swapping but not much motorway miles.

 

[Clang]

PE2s. First set on the front lasted about 10k. Rears are still going strong at 13k.

 

[tybo uk]

Replaced two Exalto's at 16k,although they were past their best well before that.
Understeered like mad on wet roundabouts

 

[Karen]

Am on about 21k at the mo, on my original tyres as they were put on the car... I live in London though and apart from that it's been a lot of motorway driving.

 

[martynh]

Fronts lasted to about 16K but got replaced due to a puncture, I'm still on the original rears.

 

[Trevor]

13K on mine since new and there's loads left-quite a lot of Motorway miles.

 

[TomS]

12,000 miles so far on my PE2 fronts.... plenty of tread left too

 

[bmh.01]

2k on the fronts which where new and they've still got the red band in the bottom of the tread on, not sure on the rears because they weren't new when I bought the car.

Had a set of Avon ZV3s on my old car and they'd done 16k and still had boat loads of tread left.

It would appear i'm tyre friendly, was on the original pads on my old car and after 36k and 5 years they still had at least half the meat left on them so I guess i'm brake friendly too.

 

[Jay]

My fronts lasted 10k PE2

 

[Djw John]

My fronts last about 10k and the backs about 20 k, Eagle F1s btw

 

[Englebert]

So far my fronts have done about 7k. They are almost illegal but i won't stop using them till they're through to the thread!

 

[Martin_172]

I only got 1,000 miles out a Hankook Ventus K102 but that was my dodgey tracking the other 3 have done about 3,000 miles now and look just as good as the new one

 

[edde]

Mine have been on about 1k or so not sure.
My last set lasted 5k and that with the tracking fine etc just track day abuse.

 

[W5 CUP]

still on first set of PE2's after 8000 miles,still plenty of tread left..

 

[R20 CWH]
