tyres/mileage

[NOT! gary l]

Just wondering what kind of mileage everyone gets out of their tyres and what kind they are?

ive got Yokohama tyres which i put on when i bought the car last year (20k miles ago) and still have between 0.5- 1mm tread left, thought this was quite good

so, what you got on and what you getting?..........

under normal driving conditions i might add, those who use the same ones for track days obviously get a lot less

we did this about a week or so ago?!

23k out of mine but desperately need changing! (including a few track days)

i do apologise, i often struggle to read every single topic:dapprove:

0.5mm - 1mm tread - change 'em bloody quick!

£1000 fine per wheel if caught under 1.6mm :-O

me - 20K from Toyo Proxes - changed to Yokos

P.S: cheaper to buy new set of wheels and sell old ones with part worn tyres

new tyres were £400, so sold old wheels & tyres for £299 on E-bay, new set for £600

£99.00 saved and NEW shiny rims!

meant to say 0.5 =1mm above the minimum tread depth mark

phew - I thought they were balder than my old man!

Continential premium contact (ie stock spec) (ps the premium contact 2 are different i don't like them as much)

There the stock spec but in 195/50/15 as there cheaper.

They last about 10k with no track days.

my mum did a set of front tyres on an Espace 2.0 16v in 5k. My dad wasnt very impressed

damn, youre mum must be wheelspinning at every junction!

dont think i'll opt for the continentals either, id expect more than 10k from any tyre, they must be really soft, im looking for a happy medium, seems what i have just now are almost that.

My pe2's are on just over 18k at the mo....Loads on rear left and fair on the front!!!

When i bought my 172 , the contis on the front lasted 7.5k . On my 182 i'm on 4.5k on the michelins so time will tell , still plenty left at the moment , but i do get hardly any wheel spin on the 182 so that helps enormously .
