10K on rear wheel drive vehicles... That would be BMWs, what else. I can get 50K from tires with wear ratings as soft at 140. It is really a function of the driver. Can you say abusive driving?! I corner reasonably hard... some corners to the point of terror, but I still get good tire life. I think it must be a problem where folks spin tires and lock up wheels while braking etc. I still contend that a soft sticky tire that is driven aggressivley, but not to the point of splippage, will outlast a tire that is harder, but is driven in to slippage because of it's limited traction. But all of that was with the 95SET with mods. My Aero wagon with 5400 miles is not that kind of vehicle. But next spring I can start finding out what it will do. I feel that it has too much body roll and roll steering characteristics for such things. Any comments?
