My car has done 10,600 miles, and it's never been driven hard and the tyres at the front have around 3mm of tread left the rears have 4 mm, so l feel as if they need changed very soon
TBH @jassyo06 I'd be happy with that sort of wear considering how the car grips/performs. You'll get another couple of thousand mile out of them surely.My car has done 10,600 miles, and it's never been driven hard and the tyres at the front have around 3mm of tread left the rears have 4 mm, so l feel as if they need changed very soon
I don't ask much from the tyres mate l don't corner hard at all or fly around either... For example i have had over 23k miles from my last 2 cars tyresTBH @jassyo06 I'd be happy with that sort of wear considering how the car grips/performs.

P-Zeros are a soft tyre though but I see your point when it's compared to what you have experienced in the past. Have your previous tyres been similar?I don't ask much from the tyres mate l don't corner hard at all or fly around either... For example i have had over 23k miles from my last 2 cars tyres
Last S3 had Conti’s 5,ST had Goodyear Eagle assy 2"s both had done over 20k miles before l changed themP-Zeros are a soft tyre though but I see your point when it's compared to what you have experienced in the past. Have your previous tyres been similar?
Weather in the summer could possibly be the reason mate, will change the fronts soon, they're only £265 fitted x2Maybe it was the extremely hot summer causing higher wear rate.
If you take it easy then I would have expected a bit more. Last car I had got 22k on the summers and that was a big heavy a6. I didn’t hang around either but that was on mich ps3.
@jassyo06 - Pretty good for P-Zero's mateMy car has done 10,600 miles, and it's never been driven hard and the tyres at the front have around 3mm of tread left the rears have 4 mm, so l feel as if they need changed very soon

Just hit 10,600 myself - same as yourself- two new Generals on front - ( Continental Backing) Great Tyres.My car has done 10,600 miles, and it's never been driven hard and the tyres at the front have around 3mm of tread left the rears have 4 mm, so l feel as if they need changed very soon
Oh dear nae luck mateBlack circles is £111 each fitted.
Only reason I know is I was cleaning and putting away my summers yesterday and found a nail on one of them. Annoyingly tyre has only covered around 70 miles and fitted 2 weeks ago

@jassyo06
I've got P-Zero's on mine mate and the wear rate is ridiculous !
I replaced the fronts at 6,500 miles and I have just had to replace all 4 at 13,000 miles.
They must be an incredibly soft tyre compund.
Yeah mate but **** knows why they are OEM tyres, l can feel the car isn't as comfortable now as the suspension has more crash and thump on most road surfaces will get them changed on Saturday
Just off the phone with tyre place... .he mentioned RO1"s what's the difference between them and AO1"s
Have to agree with all the comments,when i had my RS3 i was concerned just how quick the Pirelli tyres were wearing.
I paid £132 a corner getting them fitted Saturday morningIs that for 18" tyres?
The Saloon uses 19" and Blackcircles are coming up as £154.03 fitted per tyre.

I am surprised too.Surprised by this, I've just had my first set of tyres changed after 23,000 miles at about 2.5mm on the fronts - do a fair bit of motorway miles but definifely don't drive Miss Daisy the rest of the time!
Never in a million years would l get another 10k miles out of the fronts. . I am going put the poor tread wear on my car down to the very hot summer we had sick of forking out for this ****** car .... £1500 it's cost me in the last 6 weeks A more ordinary car the next time aroundI am surprised too.
You have the same car with same tyres, so even taking into account your motorway miles it's hard to understand how you can be getting at least double the life out of your tyres......especially considering I don't drive my car hard.
