Tyre wear.. all models

[Grant3]

Hi lads & ladies, can I do a quick survey/check to see how many miles you are getting out of your front & rear tyres, all Gaydon models. Thanks

LOL... no one doing the mileage ............??? (10k-ish rears 15k-ish(-20k)fronts!)

who cares !

Obviously depends on driving style, but I picked up my used V8V one year ago tomorrow and have done 10k miles. The tyres were nearly new when I bought it (although I don't know exactly how old) and I've done about 10k miles and all of them still look pretty healthy. I'd describe my driving style as progressive (ie I like to arrive sooner rather than later, but not on the scale of Tiff "tyre smoke is great" Needle)

Rears go frigging fast on V12 models, I can tell you that! Replaced on my DBS around 18,000km. Celebrated this fact by doing this just before dropping off for fitting of new ones:

Can't recall what I got out of tyres on my Vantages, but I definitely reached a point with my first car (40,000km of ownership) where I had to replace fronts and not just rears.

Something interesting I recall from the Vantages was having to replace front and rear brakes at the same time.

PHEW, Jus I'm glad those tyres were due for replacement! Edit to ad LOVE that car!

Keep them coming guys just trying to see how different driving styles affect the wear rates.
Cheers

Feb 07 V8V, tons left on F & R after a whole 9K miles!

It is a bit of a "Queen" but my work restricts usage, bit of a bummer really....
