Tyre Wear and you...

[Rhino172]

How frequently do you replace your tyre's?

So far I seem to be replacing my fronts once a year and I only do about 6-7k miles a year. I've always had Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3's but surely they should be lasting longer than a year/7k miles ?!? :S

Anyone recommend some harder wearing tyres as I now need to replace all 4 ideally...

 

[JR]

Conti sports or michelins imo

 

[Coby.]

PE2's

Every 7k would be a concern for me unless that's 7k Miles of very aggresive driving? including Track Days?

 

[W17GLE]

i got 16k out of pe2's and i don't tart about in it. that was from brand new to the wearlines.

 

[Rhino172]

Think i've wheelspun my car like twice in the 2 years of ownership, and never done a track day, it's just normal everyday driving...(tracking/alignment etc is fine too, had it checked everytime a new tyre fitted)

 

[W17GLE]

kind of wishing mine didn't have gsd3's on now i hope mine last longer

 

[The Seer]

The GSD 3's are softer than a fair few others.

My Exalto's seem to last around 12K. Mixture of normal and hard driving.

6k out of a pair of fronts, no trackdays or 1/4 miling and no I don't sit doing burnouts in maccys carpark either. Mich PE2's.

lol, just thought, I've never actually replaced both fronts at the same time...always been one or the other.

Maybe the reason for it...one side having more grip than the other causing it to run out quicker?!? (clutching at straws I know lol)

Dunlop SP Sport 9000 MFS - any good? seem to be the same price bracket as the F1's

PE2's are too much monies...

I had mich's on my Clio, albeit a dci I would imagine it was driven harder than 99% on RS' on the road. I got 15k miles from them. Including 15 laps on the ring and a few donuts/burnouts here and there.

 

[ForceIndia]

I used to get 12k out of F1's, including a few track days.

lol, I can vouch for that :rasp:

 

[Cupster]

Dude, always keep the fronts the same wear tbh, I will be going back to Contis after the F1 rubber wears out tbh.

ill give u the name of the ones on my beemer later ive got s**t load of tread left and ive been doing 11's all down the road lol and abit of slidy slidy

 

[ianeire]

About 8k from a set of T1R. Hard wearing is lower grip ...

 

[Renshaw]

about 20k out of my conti premiums

 

[DrR]

I once got 80miles and one day lol

I replace them when they wear out.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

lol, I can vouch for that :rasp:

I should point out that all 4 needed replacing after that 15k miles, so maybe 6-7k miles from the fronts on their own which makes that around the same as yours.

The question is.. Which ones took more punishment

I'd try the Michellins Ryan. They're not that expensive on the scale of things, it will cost you what.. Maybe £40-80 more for a whole set, if you don't think they're worth the extra, don't get them again.

But I wouldn't go down the hard rubber route unless you're going to baby the car around.

 

[clio_luke]

my proxies (front) are 9 months old, no complaints. going strong and a fair bit of wear left. no idea how many miles i have driven with them tho. i guess about 8k i guess. no track days, several sprinted drives.

 

[edde]

Tyre wear is down to compound though if you abuse it they will wear down

I've had a full set of tyres all round last 6k before now but they never last more than 15k all round so say 8k on adverage for a set of fronts.

 

[GazM]

Had my PE'2 on the car when i bought it, they were new ish. Done 10K since and they need replacing. They are more expensive but as they last longer than most other leading tyres for the RS (from what i've experienced and read here) and grip brilliantly they are definatly worth the money as you wont replace them as often

 

[MRBILLYUK]

The PE2's on the front of my 182 lasted 8k , moved the rears to the front ( like you always you should do ) new tyres on the back , then i got a total of 14k out of the fronts

 

[Whiteley]

1 owner of my 182 before me, they replaced the original PE2's at 36k, thirty six! Then I got it

 

[MRBILLYUK]

36k , Jesus Christ
