Ive done approx 10,000miles no track days, hardly any motorway, just commuting and sunny days, Tyres have worn evenly, I do live in a rural area so most roads are winding, I have never used tyres so quickly especially with little torque, no wheel spin. The misus drives it most of the time, I get it when it needs washing, Tyres, servicing etc.

Jeez, thats good mileage.

I used to think i was cool when i got 21k out of some pirellis on my old modified yaris st sport .

Do you get yours from dentons/denons in carlisle? - by far the cheapest.
Around 15k for rears and 30k for fronts. I'm more than happy with that as I don't hang about. Currently doing about 15,000 miles a year, so I can budget on a new set of rears every year and fronts every 2.

Denton Tyre Centre for me, best price around

So who says the tyres aren't getting a battering when you're not behind the wheel

That's absolutely fine 10k miles on any tyre isn't something to moan about

Getting new rears fitted on Saturday, last set fitted in June, although I've done 3 trackdays on them, and a 1500 mile jaunt through France.
