Back to front

[JMorgan]

7 months or so ago I had new Bridgstone SO3 fitted to the rear. 2 months ago to the front. Just been down to the local fitter (who did it for free as I bought them from him) to swap the fronts to the rears. Reason being 1 mil or so above the tread wear indicators! Less than 3000 miles. My 350 was good for about 10000 or so, Not complaining about the grip , plenty of it. Must get the lead weight out of my boot. Less wheel spins as well, LSD?
Question is, hows tyre wear out there?

What car? Can't be many cars that have the same size front and rear?

All the Wedges for a start except for the ones that have different sizes of course...

I would expect a lot more than 3000 'road' miles. Trackdays do destroy tyres (unless you are not trying), were the miles road or track?

[JMorgan]

er...ahem.ah road.

Blimey, that is rather poor, are the fronts much better, and do you wheel spin all the time?

[JMorgan]

I try not to spin and manage it most of the time. Think I need to calm down through the gears.
