I have owned a turbo for a few years now and have always had to change front tryes after about 9000 miles, The inner edges of the tyres go first and start to dissapear, soon after fitting. I drive like the parish vicar according to the missus, so is this normal wear for a turbo?
The worst tyre I have found so far is the yokohama A520 I have these at the moment and I have noticed them start to fade already (2500mls), grip though seems excellent and they are cheap at £70 a throw.

 

A520s for £70 ! Where from ?

 

I am currently running Falken 502's which seem fine for grip. I have just had them rotated after about 9000 miles and they still have 4mm left on the rear (old fronts) and 5mm left on the front. I certainly do not drive my WRX like the parish vicar!

BTW They are 205/50 16 and are about £65 each

I bought the yoko A520`s from a place called carnoisseur.
I have the invoice in front of me and the total price for two tyres with vat carriage/packing is £148.50.
01582471700 is their number.
Bear in mind that they are 15".
