Well it's almost a year since I got the car, Only remembered this when the Tax renewal dropped through the letter box.

My rear tyres lasted 8000 miles.

You guys aren't trying hard enough or doing enough track days.

The Andy Walsh - Car limits day and the fact that I let Useful do the same day in mine took care of a couple of mm. That plus the stop start town driving. Although they've now lost the cheese grater look on the contact area.

I don't spin the wheels as I almost always leave the VSA on... and no the light does not come on very often.

Mind the fronts arent much better either. approaching the outer bars on the rears?

Will probably replace the rears with the same then next time look for a full set of those fancy ones that you can't get over here.
