We have a Mini One 06, the front tyres are at the limit at 18000 miles.
Normal or what? My girlfriend is driving me mad worrying about it.
She wont have it thats its normal, they would have gone long ago if it
was my main drive.

That's not too bad, would be better if you did not use run flats! I got my run flats to last about 15k with safe driving and the next set lasted about 3k due to punchers

I spose you're lucky in that department.... Cooper S GP tyres about 95% worn in 6,000 miles - runflat Dunlops factory fitted, altho on 18" rims.

You probably corner as hard as me - mini 1's are great fun. Sounds like you're doing okay.

Yep, perfectly normal for the runflats! Unfortunately they really do not last. frown

I bought my car @ 6000 miles, at 14,000 miles the fronts needed replacing to the tune of £250!! (17" Dunlops)
