Posted 25/09/05 04:05 AM Posted 25/09/05 04:05 AM Not sure how long my tyres last, I drive on different tyres alot. MT Streets (down past markers) Nitto's (nearly Bald), Hankooks (replaced) Michelins (still look good, too expensive to chew up). As for fuel, not including racing which is about 100lt/100km's. I get between 250-400 depending on my mood and how dry the roads are.Geea.

Usually 500+ km's to a tank of petrol (and that's in Sydney traffic).Have you all thought of releasing your handbrake before driving off ???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>it must be the colour because im on my factory set of tyres at 55,000k's Pre edit I got 440k's per tank, now I get 480k's per tank with 242RWKW's 50% of my driving is on the freeway.
