My Eagle GS-D2's just clocked over 60,000km (on the front), and they've juuuuuusst run into the tread depth markers. Pretty good going, considering how hard I drive it 'round most corners!!

60,000km !!!!! how on earth does anyone get that out of these tyres.

none of my sets have lasted more then 15,000km, no burnouts, no dodgy wheel alignment, no sideways stupidity. and my mate got 40k out of his doing all of the above ARGH. i must order them in soft compound. on the plus side my tyre guys rubs his hands in glee when i pull up.

If your car is 4wd(Im guessing by whats in your avatar-or front wheel drive for that matter) you should not expect to get as high kays from the same tyres as they would on a rear driver. As the fronts are trying to turn AND propel the car. This would inevitably wear out the fronts quicker (and then after rotating them, the rears as well) Plus suspension softness and a whole other amount of settings can change the wear rate.

When I used to drive an old ('88) magna the front sway bar was broken and the fronts lasted about half as long as the rears. plus it handled like the piece of shit it was.
