Aston Tyre Life

[magycks]

Getting some new tyres tomorrow (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S based on previous threads/recommendations from PHers)

Interested to know how long people's front and rear tyres last on their DB9s / Astons in general? Mine seems to have absolutely ripped through the rears in no time at all!

[bogie]

Depends on use obviously, but over the last 13 years of running a Vantage for about 120k miles, the most out of a pair of rears, probably 25k miles on a year when its been a daily car sat on the motorway for the majority of the time. Least ive got is about 15k miles. Fronts last 25-30k miles

V8 Vantage daily driver mostly highway driving plus two short track stints 45,000km and they still had a few thousand km to go

Get them set up right is important

Rears on my Vanquish now need replacing at 13k, fronts still look very good, but may have been replaced before I bought it last year

Mine (on V12V) are just going, at 21,000, which thinking about it, I'm more than happy with! I'll certainly be sure to finish them before changing.

All depends on type of use

I do a lot of miles but mainly on motorways and on my previous Vantage I got one year, circa 25k out of rears and more from the fronts

The current Vanquish is also following same pattern with me expecting around 20 to 25 k miles from the rears

Set up right as in wheel alignment?

[Graze01]

Yes wheel alignment

There was a thread titled something like V8V geo which had a lot of info
