Abz Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Feel awkward posting, like I am butting into a conversation But my 2 pence, I had continental sports on my rears when I picked up my car (255/40/17). They had plenty of tread when I collected the car and I thought good, I won't have to change tyres for a while. Well they didn't last long, after about 3 months and about 2,000 miles they were close to the markers! Now I did understand that powerful RWD drives can eat through tyres but I drove it around like pansy living in London. Not only that, I thought they handled rubbish too, mainly in the wet! Changed to some Vredestein's and had them on a year and they are wearing brilliantly, even with some spirited driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 lol thanks for your input, i'm going to try different tyers and see what happens, btw all 4 tyres were band new and didn't expect for them to go so quick, going to have a word with the place i got the tyers from and see what they say, will let everyone know what happens tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I had Conti Sports on my Audi, they didn't last a year with gentle motorway miles. Googling them found many, many people saying similar. As with all tyres, good grip equals short life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 i thought the Toyo T1Rs lasted a good length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 update had a letter back from continental re The hardness and consistency of the tread rubber compound has been checked and is consistent with our production specification. in veiw of the conclusions of our examination and the fact that no manufacturing defect was present we are unable to offer any form of compensation on the tyres in this instance. still not happy grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 If you're not up to checking your tyre pressures, then you're not up to owning a Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have Continentals on my 4x4 ,and i dont think that they are that good , i would say about 8000 miles before I change them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 If you're not up to checking your tyre pressures, then you're not up to owning a Supra. well i know what to get you for xmas now babe , .............. a tyre pressure gauge caroline is now running toyo T1Rs personal opinion they are the best tyre ive ever used , and I personally checked the tyre pressures this time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The centre of the tyre wearing out before the edges means they are overinflated. The simple answer is, your lack of maintenance caused them to wear out prematurely That's just the facts, not malice intended. Learn a nice lesson and check the pressures regularly from now on.

blossom Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 but why ....i shouldn't own a supra lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 so is it right that 255/40/17s should be between 34-36 psi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I work in advance pitstop who are owned by continental. The feed back we get is usally about 12000-15000 miles on conti's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 but why ....i shouldn't own a supra lol With your attitude towards motoring and road safety, you should not even be allowed a driving licence. I'll wager that you complain about the cost of your insurance policy too. One day, you may grow up and realise that it is dickthippery such as yours that actually cause the hiked prices in the first place. Fact and without malice.

Dnk Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 The moral of the story is check your tyre pressures regulary and if your not sure how to do it or what the pressure is ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Next time you want to make a personal attack against me, pm me. It certainly wasn’t a personal attack. I would have said the same whoever it was. No matter how careful a driver you may be, it must be obvious that it would be a lot safer with the correct tyre pressures. Regard it as being cruel to be kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
