average miles
I’ve just changed the OEM fitted Pirelli’s and had the same tire fitted again. I had 35,000 miles out of the fronts with the n/s/f showing 2mm and the o/s/f at 3mm. With all the very heavy rain I was unwilling to leave it much longer though it’s just possible I could have got to 40,000. I’ve been happy with these tires, I don’t push things these days so they are probably more suited to a cruising / motorway tire than anything sporty. I noticed a significant improvement with the new tires which is unsurprising as the degradation is gradual over time. The originals were very heavy on the steering at the end and were noticeably less happy dealing with rough road surfaces and potholes that seem to proliferate on uk roads today.
