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 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.
