liner33 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Worst Kawasaki z1000 Dragbike Mickey Thompsom 7" drag slick 3.5-5 miles 14-20 passes Best In recent memory Skoda Superb Eagle F1 GSD 225/40/18 21k front tyre I reckon that modern tyres bear little relation to the tyres of old as the latter were thinner higher pressures on lighter cars and better roads and make using harder compounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 WorseTo date Toyo T1 with around 8k miles on the fronts, the rears had over 20k miles when I sold the wheels. But I think the Vreds will beat this and I'm estimating around 7k miles. Best I can't really remember but probably a budget tyre, they usually last a long time. Skoda Superb Eagle F1 GSD 225/40/18 21k front tyre That's on a FWD isn't it? Pretty impressive if you could get that mileage out of them. The most I've ever had out of front tyres is 10-12k miles.

eddie Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Best Toyota RAV4 2002 Still on original tyres at 78,000 miles. Still don't need changing. Worst Lexus IS300 - 5,000 miles odd. I took them to Tony at STS in Watford in 2004 and due to excessive wear on the inners with the supposedly correct factory settings I had to replace all four tyres. Tony worked out the new values and before long people were bringing their Lexus to STS from far and wide to get their geometry sorted. I tried to claim the cost of the tyres from Lexus GB but they were not having any of it! the second set of tyres lasted a lot longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
