My F1s have lasted 12k miles so far and still got a couple of months left I would say. This is varied driving, motorway driving for a fair bit too.

I never do burnouts, rarely wheelspin and keep the car fairly controlled (mainly cause the tyres stick so well!). That said, I don't drive like a granny at all.

Wheel alignment will make a lot of difference if you are getting uneven wear. Incorrect tyre pressures wil also cause this.

:D


Eggsackerly... you don't buy a performance car and then put crap tyres on it. I am always amazed how people put crap tyres on. If you drive a performance car you have to realise that tyre costs will be more and more critical than say on a vectra barge.
