Best and worst mileage from rear tyres ?

[3rtt]

So what is the best and worst mileage you have got from a set of rear tyres (any brand or model) on a V8 Vantage

The original Bridgestones on mine have done over 19k and still don't need changing.

Cheers Tim, I have around 18000 miles on original Bridgestone too, but getting very close to wear indicators and getting a bit sketchy in damp and wet conditions.

The rear AM approved Bridgestones are actually available at quite a relatively cheap price now (< £200 each fitted ) compared to lots of other newer tyres, although many people on here now are fitting Michelin Pilot Sports.

Have a look here (I am assuming your rear tyre size is 285/35)

Just over 8000 from new and need a set of rears. And never been on a track.

I do live near some great roads though
