On my 3rd set in 30000Ks, thought I better go some bigger rims so I might look after them a bit better.

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.

holy crap I think ive bought 8 tyres in under 30klm. was a bit harsh on them to start with but been good lately. Save the d!ckhead stuff for the track & when someone is being a smart ar$e & deserves to look like an idiot.

Nice work though not many could say they've got 60 out of there tyres.

Im sure theres a few more horror stories out the spit them up.

How about the not so cheap tyres you got excited with & burnt up. How about the MT's how many passes have people been seeing out of them?

I'll soon get 45k out of the original dunlops but 60k on 18's is another thing.

Geez I'd better get a hurry up. I have made 14000 on my factory fitted Dunslops. The old 6 Speed Phoon 333 was lucky to get 12000. The present ones still have plenty of tread on the rear. Pity about the noise and lack of grip though. I must be driving like a grandpa. I'll go back to Advans when they die.
