As the title suggests how many klm's do ya get out of your rear rubber. I've been using Federal 595rs-r semi slicks which I straped on july last year & done about 10000klm but after a quick look at them it looks like im up for another set.

I have been a good boy I havent even done a single skid or 1/4 run on them but it has done countless dyno runs & has had some good serious testing done in regards to street tests after tunes.

I'm not complaining because there brilliant tyres its turned the car from a good dyno car & a quick track car to a brilliant street car.

What the shortest time your poor tyres have lasted???

Fitted Friday, lit up Saturday, finished off Sunday & delaminated, swapped on Monday :blush:

This was at a motoring event so no hooning involved...

On the street, I usually get 10,000 - 15,000km depending on how good I am. I never get on the brake so don't shred alot of rubber most of the time :blink:

I think the type of roads we drive on up here are to fault abit our highways are ridicleous in some places. I must take some of the blame because when they are cold as soon as it hits boost its all wheelspin til ya backoff. The tyres are soft as well I spse, ive seen twin black lines of bits of rubber laying out the back of the dyno after a couple of runs. That cant help. I will be goin back for seconds of these tyres. Best tyre to suite the factory rim ive found at a reasonable price

First set of tyres lasted me 15 000kms, and finished off properly in style as seen in my avatar. Th set I'm on now seems like will last me a bit longer since I've lost my license my driving has taken a more careful approach.

I have made it to 60,000km and may last another 5,000km with my 18's. Could have pushed maybe 10,000 if I wasnt lazy with the last rotation.
