Default Am I driving like a girl??

OK, you dont need to answer the question but my dilemma is this:

Had my STI PPP for over 6 months now and although I'm mechanically sympathetic I like to think I dont hang around. The RE070's were brand new when I collected the car in May and on its 2 year service a couple of weeks ago the tyre wear was 7mm all round and the tyres still look nice and meaty.

So what mileage do other folk get? When I got the car a lad at work "had a mate" who wore a set out in a weekend on his Scooby!!!

Cheers
AC

Depends a lot on how you drive. I normally get 24k out of a set of F1s on the road. On the other hand I've worn out a set of R888s in 120 miles at Elvington.

Usually a ballpark 6K miles or 6months for me for fronts.

I'd be impressed to see 10k miles with the way my fronts are going at the moment - had the car 3 months and the new Pirelli PZeros on the front are already wearing down nicely

Still, they grip excellently
