Tyre Wear

[Nickmoore22]

What do you guys expect mileague wise out of a set of 18" p zero's.
I've had to replace my two fronts already ater 7500 miles, and knowing its going to cost me £500 or near enough was an utter shock!

Is this common of the leon fr's or is it my driving style or misfortune?

Dunno mate, I've had my Dunlop sport max on since I got the car and I've done 18k so far, and they've still got loads of tread on them...

I've just replace my front Pirelli P7's or P6 (can't remember what they were) after 24k good old www.etyres.co.uk had the best quote and they come to you.

2.5k on mine and I can see the wear on the fronts.

Practically all town driving so a lot of nipping about and 2nd gear use (wheel spin).

I'm running 18" with p zero's and done 9K and got plenty of tread left. Thats a mix of town, A roads and motorway driving.

I've got a Reference Sport 2.0 TDI and my front tyres are just about ready for a change at 10K miles. Seems to be the case for most drivers with a high torque car.

I got a quote of £110 for 18" Goodyear Eagle F1's. Anyone rate them? (sorry to steal a bit of your thread!)

Goodyear Eagle F1's, i had them on my lcr and i thought they were one of the best tyres i have used... take a good few 100 miles to bed in properly but i couldnt fault them after that

My 18" P zeros had loads of tread when l bought the car ( car had 8800miles on it ) l have now got 16K on the clock and they need changed next month - for info, the outside quarter of the two fronts are fine - the middle of the tyre is where the wear is.

Check your tyre pressure, it could be too high.

Will do. Cheers

i had these tyres befor and find them very noisy

Mine were completely gone at 12k, outsides ok, centre bald, and the pressures were correct. New dunlops are doing much better.
