They're not fake, loads of people get stuff from tyre leader. I spoke too soon... I actually looked on the account on saturday and the tyres are in transit and being tracked
Well... they came Gonna get them fitted on saturday morning! The new tyre + wheel combo will only work out to be a few millimetres bigger than my current setup with a 16" and higher profile tyre, but they do look huge haha. Yes I've checked they're the right size. I guess they look a lot bigger when they're not a car.

Hi guys
For those using the Goodyear Eagle Asy 3 what mileage you getting from them?
Got my first ever set of Goodyears last year and 11,000 miles later they are down to the wear indicator.
That normal?

It all depends how you driving..
How many months you had them?
I have potenza s001 17" purchased them in January and front ones has now 4mm tread now.. Didn't last much but I been driving fast and braking often
I used 225/45/17 Assy 3 during one summer season before I changed to 18" rims. I drove approx. 10000 km and they still have 7 mm tread on the fronts and 8 mm on the rears.
Thats pretty quick to wear but how exactly are you driving? If you're accelerating hard and braking hard etc then it's obviously going to wear much more than driving in a laid back fashion or even more spirited driving. Also is the wear even across the tyres? If it isn't then it could be your alignment, which would wear certain parts of the tyre quicker than the rest.

Thanks guys
I would say my driving is more laid back than anything. I drive mainly on back roads, sometimes motorway.
Was looking through some receipts tonight and the worn tyres were purchased January 2017, they were on the front of the car 6 months until they went on the rear.
The Goodyears I put on the front in August still look like new so wondering if its something to do with the rear of the car?
Wear looks pretty even across the tyres so not sure if its the alignment.
Still a bit concerning as im sure I had 20k plus out of Dunlops....

Wait, so the worn ones you're talking about were on the front first? I'd imagine that has a lot to do with it.
Some food for thought: The tyres that were on my A3 when I bought it a year ago, I'm not sure how long they'd been on there, but the car had been garaged and not driven for a year. Since I've had it I've put almost 2k on it (not that much), but when I took the wheels/ tyres off last week to replace with the new wheels/ tyres, the difference in the amount of tread at the front tyres and back tyres was night and day. The backs have loads of tread left still, the fronts are 2mm, more like 1mm from the tread wear indicators.
I'm selling them and think I'll have to take a fair loss on them, if the fronts were as good as the backs, they'd barely even pass as part worn I reckon.

Appreciate my tyres have been on the front of my car but back to my original point-
11k out of a set of Goodyears? Regardless of rotation or the year of owning them.
Dont drive hard and dont do a lot of miles in a year.
Was just surprised to see them down to the indicator!
Do like Goodyears as they seem one of the quieter tyres, just wondered if anyone else had had this experience or if my car is eating tyres!
