TYRE WEAR

[GARY M]

WHAT SORT OF MILAGE SHOULD YOU GET OUT OF A SET OF CONTINENTALS ?

NEARLY DONE 10,000 mls AND MY FRONT TYRES ARE GOOSED.

maybe you rag it to infinity and beyond

 

[telford_mike]

You need to try harder Gary - mine normally last about 6000 miles.

7500 on the contis, I got Eagle F1s now and have so far done 9000 and they still have loads of tread on them.

 

[GARY M]

HOW MUCH WERE THE EAGLE F1S THEN ?

 

[Road_Shagger]

FAO: GARY M - if you like ive got a keyboard for sale in the for sale forum, it has a CAPS lock key that actually works

My contis have done over 6k including two 1/4 mile days and are still fine!!!

Only girls learn to type.

 

[jon_r]

press f5 LOL!

 

[chogg1000]

Eagle F1s were £205 for two fitted.....I was ripped off. You can get them cheaper than that I think. Much better than the contis though (in my opinion)

 

[VX-Tony]

Ive just rolled over 14,000 miles and still on the original contis

I swapped the fronts with the rears at about 12k (wish Id done it at about 8k) and ive done a few trackdays too. Will need replacing soon tho (hence wish i reversed earlier)

 

[swelch]

Ive done 8K and I recon I will be lucky if I see the other side of 10K

 

[chris_leic172]

Ive done 24,000 on my contis, swapped front with back at 20,000.

Think the main reason that they have lasted so long is that most of my driving is on the motorway.



Chris.

 

[compocup]

Agreed

i do a lot of motorway work and im on 11,000 miles and have about 4mm left (there is a band at the 2mm mark)

[chogg1000]

[Darren555]

I swapped the fronts with the rears at about 12k

I was told this is bad practice as front and rear tyres wear in different ways
