Hi,
When I bought my motor (4 yrs ago now) I fitted it out with Michelin Primacy 225/55/R16/W95.

I was a bit dissappointed with the mileage I got. 20000 rear and 28000 front.

I changed to Continental and I am even more dissappointed that I now need new rear tyres at 15000 with estimate maybe 5000 miles left on front.

Should I be dissappointed, or is this about right, your views welcome.

I don't drive it like I stole it, and is mostly urban stuff.

I tend to get 15-20k out of a set (generally go for a grippier tyre than a durable one).

I did manage only 4k from a set of Avon ZZ3s on my TD  :-[

i'm well known for a light right foot  ::)

48k from a set of Goodyear Eagles Ventures, so far 35k off some Falkin's

Had Pilots on a 15" and got about 22000. All depends on type of roads, style of drining and car set up

Got generic tyres on mine, so far 11k on front and 9k on rears - 4.5mm left on the rear, 5.5 on the fronts  :y

Sound about right to me tbh Rog.

Do you take your car on a trailer?

20000 to 25000 for normal drivers - I used Michelin Primacy all the time until last year - I am now on Dunlop SP3000 which seem fine but only done about 14000 since they went on in May 2009 but good tread left and were cheaper than the Primacy
