My Golf R32 has only done 6000 miles, and the fronts are two thirds worn

Drive it like you stole it

Might not have been in the same place on the car the whole time, possibly been rotated at servicing?

Had 24,000 miles on my OE STI7 tyres.

They all had circa 4 mm on when I changed them.

I rotated them to even out the wear, but they started to get a bit frisky, hence why I changed them.
