So I found a small nick in the outside edge of my front passenger tyre that had been on since i bought the car, it was showing threads so I got both fronts replaced, the rears were on ~5mm still.
2x Michellin PS3's on the front at ~32,800 miles - currently on 36,000 and there is about 3mm left on them (3.5mm and 4mm quoted by audi when it was in the garage at 35k miles), is this even considered remotely ok wear? I drive almost 100% twisty welsh roads but don't generally drive like a tit.
The car is in next friday for a service and a 4 wheel laser alignment at awesome gti (assuming the alignment is wayyy out or something given this wear, and in the last week or so without having had a knock, the car will go to the left if the steering wheel is centered).
Is this rediculous wear characteristic of bad alignment or could i realistically only expect 7k miles out of a set of PS3s on admittedly bad roads? Everything I see on here is people getting 12k+ miles out of a set of decent tyres with some people hitting 15k+ but I figure they drive a lot of motorways...
The rears are not wearing at anything like the same rate which is to be expected given the front wheel bias but still...
