With 45k miles on the car:
Rear:
1st set SO2 replaced with SO2 at 19k
2nd set replaced with RE050 at 38k
Front:
1st set SO2 replaced with SO2 at 19k
2nd set replaced with RE050 at 45k (used the swap sides on 2nd set)

I don't drive like a lunatic but neither do I drive very carefully either.

Based on this 5k sounds entirely wrong.

If your getting 20k miles from a set of tyres I suggest you stop driving Miss Daisy and enjoy the car or if its too quick for you get a Corsa !!!!!!

Try using Vtec it'll blow your mind !!

oh dear....

I am a driving god, and I get about 12k from a set, unless I track it.

Since moving to MK I get a less on the near side - those 350 roundabouts

When its quiet have you tried going the other way round... to even up the wear

No but exiting the roundabout faster than I enter it is helping even them out a bit

I did actually once ruin a set within one week; always have new tyres fitted AFTER the track day, not before!
