Glad to see Echo66 was honest about his mileage

Interesting to add that ever driven hard on track rears can do 8-10k. Depends if you're driving hard or hooning sideways.
Wonder if I'll even get 1k out of the Yoko's.

If I could drive like Miss Daisy I'd be happy. She'd kick the ass of most guys I know!! If I could drive with her I'd be even happier, especially on bumpy roads. Love those wobbly jiggly pair she has.
Bo & Luke might go through the tyres quicker, but I still know who I'd ride with!!

Mine must have come with extra tread when new as I'm still only down to 3mm after 18K. 
Its not my fault as I get an ear-full from SWMBO if I get too spirited. I was trying to avoid a jam on the M1 yesterday so left the MI north of Sheffield and crossed over to the AI by Wath on Dearne. Its a great road for roundabouts but once again I got the red card after some spirited overtaking and managing one nice power slide

The bridgestones were dirt. utterly dire tyres
i've been through three sets of eagle f1s and they were great until i got a set of the diamond cut 16s and couldn't get a set. So i was invited to try a set of michelin pilot sx's.
Acceptable tyres i'd say but not expecting more than 8k out of them. Next up, well, probably eagle f1s if i can, but i've got a few friends with yoko advan semi slicks and another friend running a scooby with r888s.. as and when they report back i'll consider, but my next set of rims are destined for a set of eagle f1s

Mine's an everyday driver, on my first set of tyres (bought in March) and seem to be down to 4mm after 6k, oops! Was hoping to get 10k out of them, but I spose I might do if I do a winter on the new set. Think I might finish them off and book Donnington! After making sure my local Protyre has some in stock.....
