my fronts are fooked, bought them second hand already on the alloys. Guy reckoned he'd done 9k on them and i've done about 5k - so 14k isn't too bad. I only got 9k out of Toyo T1S' on my civic.

still, even though they don't have much tread left they are still performing very well.

Had continental sport contacts on previous cupra TDI - lasted 15.5k. Though they were illegal for 200 miles.

I'm on 18.5k from my Bridgestones on the front and am about 1mm off the wear indicators. They're the original tyres that came with the car (Leon Cupra TDI) when I bought it new. They seemed to wear really quickly over the first 8k, then the wear rate seemed to slow dramatically. Reckon I'll need to replace them in about another 1-2k.

I'm on 22k on the fronts and 42k on the rears at the mo. They are due to be changed very shortly to Michelin Pilot Sport 2 that I got for £300 :)
