Hey all,

Just wondering what is the tyre wear on your TT's. I have a 2001 TT 225 Roadster and the tyre wear is phenomenal. I have done only 16000 odd miles and the tires are worn out - only 2 mm of tread left. I got the car with Bridgestones. I am real pissed off. The dealer says the tires should generally last about 40,000 miles.

Cheers

I have never heard of getting 40,000 miles out of a performance tire.

Damn sure should get at least 20 to 24 K if they have been rotated, and you don't drop a couple of bucks of tire at every stop sign.

This is mormal. I got about 16K out of mine, and now I have Pole Positions. I only expect 13K out of these. Dealer was wrong. Touring tires last 40K, not performance tires.

16-24 out of the 040's is normal depending on driving habits.

Do you have the RE-040's? If yes then your dealer is nuts! I got 11,500 out of mine. lol

Yes, I'd say 12K to 14K would be about normal

Your dealer lied. I can't imagine a tire in that performance category that is good for that many miles.

the center groove is already gone. I did 2 track events though. After the Falling water trip (I estimate 2000 miles) I need to change the 040's. Hopefully the SO3's come out soon.

What should I expect to pay to replace my tires each yaer (16,000 miles) with some comporable replacements?
