Tyre life

[Tookie]

How long do conti 3's usually last I havnt had my car that long and the tyres looked brand new but I checked them today and they are nearly on the limit :bye2: could of only done about 4-5k no track days. Is this normal for conti's?

Without trying to state the obvious.... it depends on your driving. I got 11,000 out of my Conti 3's, but only 7,000 from my Conti 5's because I enjoyed them more.

On our original conti 3s when it was new and with moving them round front to back we had 15000 miles

Mine got 4 new CSC3's when I bought it - replaced the fronts on Tuesday after about 7500 miles. Rears have plenty left.

Mine still have 6mm on the front after 4200 miles and I throw the car about pretty hard around the bends on sc3's

Well had my check done at Renault and the tyres need replacing they had really uneven wear looking at getting some Hannkook v12s

7.5 - 10K depending on how many miles i've done and how many the wife has done.

When i bought my car the front tyres were pretty new, it had done 19,000 miles. Its now on 32,000 and theres still a good 4mm on them.

Should get 15k out of them easily. Think they are Avons on the front.
