Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 05/04/04 03:22 AM Share Posted 05/04/04 03:22 AM I cannot belieive it but just over 15000k and the tyres are gone I have always had performance tyres the last were the FM901 and even they lasted approx 25-30k?Anyway I was wondering what everyone else was doing as far as replacement tyres. What do you recommend to buy and alternatively what to stay away from? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9988-new-18-tyres/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 05/04/04 03:46 AM Share Posted 05/04/04 03:46 AM that's the thing, I will admit to driving around corners hard most of the time but no different to how I drove previous cars and all legal . I check pressure regularly had them rotated at 6k. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9988-new-18-tyres/#findComment-108302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just must be really boring drivers. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9988-new-18-tyres/#findComment-108332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Snowy Cruise and the Great Ocean Road have not helped their longevity. They have now been rotated to the back and hopefully will last long enough for me to save for some newies.
