I estimate about 17-18k on the tyres and I don't drive in a manor that would wear them quickly! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

And most of my travel is motorways/A roads, so I suppose that wears tyres quicker too? I had my M3 18 months and didn't have to swap any of them - they were still legal when I chopped it in.| Josh Member Since: 24 Dec 2005 Location: Here, there and everywhere Posts: 2054

I think you're doing well. My merc before this went through a full set in 6K.

Remember Gonzo from the Muppets? He used to eat rubber tyres (to the Flight of the Bumblebee)! |

I'd be pleased with 17-20k a set. My Touareg struggled to last 10k before uneven wear set in |
