How long do your tyres last?

[dave0010]

Just curous really how long different cars and trye models last milage wise.

So far the set on my van are fine and have covered 20,000 miles

On my bike, 2,000 miles if I'm lucky, my truck (supercharged F150) I reckon I'll be changing at around 30,000, my van (SWB Vivaro) just changed the fronts at 70,000, the backs look good for another 30,000. Hope this helps.

I had an Opel Manta back in the 80's it was crap on tyres

rears lasted about 30 miles one night at the Chelsea Bridge Cruise

Just replaced a pair of Eagle F1s on my Swift at 15000 miles.

28,000 miles per set. I swap front to back when fronts are down to 4-5mm. Tyres are Michelin Primacy HP 205/55-16 on a 160hp front-wheel drive 1¼ ton car. The last set of tyres cost mr £340 including fitting, balancing and track check/re-set.

Mine never last as long as I'd like but my Dad (when he had a succession of company cars that were changed every 60,000 miles) was quite pleased that he often handed them back on the original tyres - and sometimes the brakes too!!!! He's the type of driver that you really hope you don't end up following on a twisty country road

Depends on the car and the tyres. Best I got was 40k on the front (diesel Astra, Bridgestone Turanza ER300). Worst I got was 7k on the front (bigger engine diesel Astra, Bridgestone Potenza RE050).

Generally 12-15k though, got 15k out of the Hankooks on the front of the Mondeo, just replaced with Uniroyal RainExpert.

My Cooper S front tyres lasted 7k miles before needing replacement, admittedly on a 40miles each way commute on some twisty A-Roads.

Elise (rear): 9,000 miles

It's more to do with the toe (tracking) settings than a specific car as far as I can tell. I roughly tend get 10k road miles plus around 700 track miles, which in total i believe should get me around 20k on the road if all is well.

Old CRX turbo did a set of R888s (front) in 1700 miles :crazy:

To be fair that was a couple of track days and some pretty hard road use.
