Tyre life?

Re: Tyre life?
As far as the OEM IRC tyres go, 5000 miles from a rear is achievable and a front should last 15000 miles.

Re: Tyre life?
I've got over 8k on my rear tire, although, it is more than due for a change. Lolgn2 wrote:As far as the OEM IRC tyres go, 5000 miles from a rear is achievable and a front should last 15000 miles.

Re: Tyre life?
My rear hit the wear mark sometime between 6500 and 7000 miles, and needs replaced. The front's still got a whole lot of life left.

Re: Tyre life?
My second rear lasted 7000 miles and I'm glad Mr. Plod never had a close look at it...

Re: Tyre life?
My rear is due for a replacement after about 5k miles. The front is not looking to good and close to the markers at 6k. It would appear I'm quite hard on my front :p
Re: Tyre life?
My rear is well and truly finished at 4.5k. 
Front is not looking that good either. I must also be hard on the front.

Re: Tyre life?
i got about 8k miles out of my rear tire before the center tread totally disappeared...sent from cell phone
Re: Tyre life?
Mine is ok on the front but the rear was changed at the last 5k service.Funnily enough my honda dealer put a michelin city grip on as thats what they reckon is best.Nice to see this particular dealer sees what the market likes as opposed to putting another honda one on.
