God666 Complete Bastard Legacy Donating Member 1,123 Member For: 22y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/01/05 11:22 AM Posted 31/01/05 11:22 AM Replaced my tyres today at the grand old age of 55000 km! (Dunlop SP3000s). Admittedly 90% of my driving is between Syd and Canberra however, in the city I tend to drive like a complete B@stard. I certainly never expected them to last that long, what the hell is wrong with me?Has anyone else been more pathetic that this effort?Is there somewhere I can go for counselling?Do they run courses on how to be harder on your tyres?What colour blouse should I wear?

LOLScotty<Glances at scotty's avatar Wonders Why >Dad got about 60,000 out of the 16" Michelin Pilots (or something) on his EB XR8...but then again he is 70. One was badly out of shape though. Sounded like a dodgy wheel bearing...Whirr Whirr Whirr...Having said that, when I finally got access to it, the tires went down a bit quicker
