Aero-M Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 There must be something seriously wrong with your car if thats all your getting on an NA. Or do you mean 15,000 miles ? No 1500, They are wearing really low on the inside edge. I'm guessing the geo is way out.

Dnk Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 well the bad boys 265-35-18's careful driving, no wheel spins, if i can help it etc , roughly how many miles It will depend on what tyre you have as well as how you drive on them, i got just over 8,000 miles out of my rear Contisport 2's with a mixture of driving. That was even tyre wear across the whole width of the tyre. That was also on a 400 ish hp TT on 295 30 19 rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike3.0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I hope your looking after my car welshbuddy those tyres should be fine for many months yet. They cost me nearly £400 for the rears not that long ago, just becareful not to go budget. It was the previous owners crap tyres that landed me the brown trouser moment...not fun. Theres loads of tyre reviews on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
