Don't think I've ever seen 30k on a set of tyres before. I do like to corner fast though...

That'd be a dream come true to get 30000k out of a set of tyres. 22000 is the most I can manage. I don't do alot of highway driving though.

Interesting results.

I just replaced my OEM tyres on my FG T ute. They had over 40,000km's on them and that included a track morning (3 sessions) at wakefield and lots of post tune 2nd gear wheel spin. For familiarisation purposes of course. They were still comfortably rego worthy but I replaced them as I had a torn side wall whilst at the track.

I enjoy my corners too!

I generally keep them at 40psi, and rotate them with every service (6 months or so). Certainly was a pleasant suprise to get that sort of milage out of stock tyres!

LOL why own a turbo then, a corolla seems like it'd do the trick for you... ;)

my tyre wear, well driving conditions pretty much the opposite that you mention...

front tyres seem good, rears bald after 6000km.... 6000 fun km :)
