How many miles can you get out of a set of front tyres. You may have seen my previous post about changing my rears - well my car has done 17,200 miles so when should I change the fronts.

What is the most miles someone here has done on fronts ??

Dracoro

I just changed my original fronts at 20,000 miles.

Rears changed at 15,000.

That includes a track day too! & I don't hang about either.

My odometer reads 9,400 miles: my fronts have 65 to 75 % tread left and my rear have 15 to 25 % left. My driving habit is usually low to moderate acceleration, minimal braking except for engine's, and moderate to hard cornering.

Lotusman and Dracoro - pretty impressive numbers ! (in a not enough VTEC kind of way )

One thing I would say is make sure you check the inside tread on your front tyres. Due to the camber setup on the S2000, the insides can wear dramatically more than the outsides, and you have to have it on ramps or full lock to notice.

I cannot comment on the fronts as mine have loads left, but as for the rears thats a different matter.

Near side rear is starting to look decidely low and only done 6500 miles with no track days or spinning round and round in circles.

Hi Simmo,
Interesting that, my nearside rear is lower than the Offside, is it the same with everyone?

Yep inside edge of nearside rear approaching illegallity.

Fronts are roughly 50% but I did recently swich 'em side to side due to excessive inner wear. (remember they are directional)

Now at 11000 miles.

Nearside wears more I guess because we do loadsa right turns round UK roundabouts

I am on my 2nd set with this car and need to change them at 37,000. 1st set were done at 18,000.
rears need to go now too.
