Default Bridgestone Potenza RE070's

How many miles do you get out of the front tyres?

10K from the majority I'd say with average use.

Depends on if you track it or not.

Assuming no track use I thought that would be about right

15500 miles and still going strong. They were rotated at 9000 miles. As long as the tracking is right and you don't track or drive like a nutter all of the time then they can last.

The RE070's are reasonably robust and if driven correctly will last, as Mikkel says especially if the tracking is A1.

mine had at least 15k on them, the rears have some left .... in the words of the short magician ... NOT A LOT... fronts were on canvas but a hadn't noticed as is was only on the inside edge.

See how long the eagle f1s I've had fitted last. Grip so far seems as good and I'm hoping they wont take as long to warm up.

19.5k in a year with both shoulders starting to get low on the fronts
Mainly motorway driving and have had tracking done which removed a lot of tramlining and sudden rear end shifting.
I,m obvioulsy not a nutter

Looks like that geo setup at Powerstation will pay dividends

Sidewalls too hard, and wet weather grip was sh*t.

Going sideways on half throttle coming off a roundabout in the wet is not my idea of fun. Now on decent tyres, it's full throttle and perfect grip.

I have no doubt that on a sunny day when the Bridgestones are warm they'll out grip the PS2's. Sadly I live in England not Dubia.

Each to their own of course, but I just couldn't live with them.
