Default Who has got the greatest mileage from their SO2's?

Just wanting to find out who has got the greatest mileage from the original set of SO2's on their S2000? I will through my hat in the ring first as I still have the first set on my yellow S2000 which is coming up to almost 3 years old and has 35k's on the clock. Can anyone beat this mileage? Yes I know I had a spare set of wheels & tyres but they would only account for about 2k's

One of my mates (who is not on this forum) got about 40k on his first set of OEM S02s - replaced them when one went flat because he wore a hole through it!!

In the USA where they have a much larger number of S2000s they report that the average mileage from a set of S02s is 10,000. This equals 16,000 Kms.

We once did a survey on this (more than 1 year ago) and we worked out that the Australian average was 17,000Kms.

This means that there will be many cases way below and way above the average but 40,000 is amazing.

Perhaps we should also ask - What is the smallest number of Ks that anyone has got out of a set of S02s?

I think that'd have to be that guy in Sweden (I think) that did the burn out video. Regardless of what his odometer shows he a few hundred meters around a carpark.

Mine were still sticking like glue at 23000 miles when I sold them for new wheels.
