How long do your tyres last?
Discussion
Just putting this out there because my current work horse has covered 50,000 miles on its first set of tyres.
It's a 2014 Astra Estate and is wearing Goodyear Tyres. The fronts are now down to 2 MM. The rears still have lots of life in them. As you can see I am a high mileage driver but with previous cars the most I've got out of my front tyres is around 30,000.
what is everyone else's experience?

I got 5000 miles out of the rears on my MR2. Yokohama AD08 so very soft.
I have the roadster with the advans on too and got about the same. Used to have marbles stuck to the side of the car My sti shredded some mitchelins as the tyre walls were too soft for the weight and I wore them to the canvas on the sides.
Usually get about 15 out of the daily but can't resist a skip around the islands on the bypass.

I honestly don't know, I've never put more than one set of tyres on any car I've owned in the 21 years I've been driving!
Me too. I sold a car with tyres I had bought new and the fronts were nearly requiring replacement, they had done 30k (Michelin Pilot Sport 3).My last daily was an E90 320d (yawn, boring I know)
First set of tyres, Michelin Energies, managed around 55k miles - hard to be precise as they were alternated with a set of Pilot Alpins that covered the remaining 40k of the 4 years that I had the car.
Current car is an E-Class estate, but I've not had this long enough to know how hard it is on tyres. As it's significantly heavier I'm expecting to see faster tyre wear with this one.
