My tyres last a lot longer on the roads here which tend to be straighter & smoother with less stop starts.

 

However, as stated the driving wheels will always wear quicker & it depends how much right foot you use in accelerating & braking. A large, high torque engine will also accelerate wear.

 

The front tyres of our Saab 93 last around 35-40K Kms & rears about 2-3 times that - tyres are 225*17"*45*94w

Changed the fronts on my Yeti earlier this year when it had 42k in the clock, although the I'd used some winter tyres in between I think the Continental low rolling resistance original tyres must have done at least 33k.

 

Now at 57k and the rears still have about 4.5mm tread left.

Hi ALL SO HOW does your 2WD last on your car my one 10)14k thanks Jon

 

 

You're incredible Jon boy!

Can't wait for your next thread "how long is a piece of string"

Legend.

Do you know how long a piece of string is?

 

 

Partly depends where it starts and where it finishes. Now I could've said it depends on the distance between the two ends. But if there's knots, the distance may be less, while the length remains constant. Assuming knotted and non knotted are both dry or both containing the same amount of moisture. I also suppose it would have some barring, if one end were weighted.

 

Sorry. What were we talking about? Ah yes, tyres and mileage.

Do they last longer if full of stones. Mine pick up hundreds of stones. I find if I am being tailgated on the motorway and I speed up slightly to get out the way of the little cherubs my car releases stones all over the bonnet and windscreen of their Audi. :lol:
