Mine last about 8-9k but that usually includes at least one trackday, not sure how you all drive on the road!

How Long do your tyres last

I'm on 12k and we're looking fine so far on all four tyres. They've seen Combe twice (pretty ferociously) and probably good for another 5 or 6k if not 10k!
Standard Dunlop Sport SP2000's (though i did have the worst worn (front left) replaced at 8k after a blowout.

I've got some el-cheapo tyres on mine and have so far managed just over 20k miles. They will need replacing once payday arrives.
I plan to get some Ecsta KU31's which should grip better - don't know how well they will last.
The ones fitted now must be a real hard compound. Last night in the wet on a country road I was having to drive soooo slowly. The front was understeering all over the place. I am hoping that new tyres helps this, because the way things are at the moment my old 1.4 Fiesta Si would have whupped me last night. Not a good sign.

Lol they've done probably 25 laps of Castle Combe mate, and I don't go easy during normal driving to be honest :s. Must be my IAM training etc less harsh starts/stops?
The fronts on my Cupra have lasted almost 3 years, but they're on 2mm now so they'll need swapping in the next few weeks. My mileage is low though, its on 9400 at the minute.
9k on OE P-Zero Nero's and 9k each on two sets of Toyo T1-R's. Is it me or is there a pattern forming here!!
Most prob gonna pay the price now tho. Garage mate hooked me up with some budget(ish) Marshall rubber. Done nearly 2k on them since March. Noisy as feck and don't feel as confident as the Toyo's!!
Ah well, at least they're black, round and made of rubber.....!!

Well, just like Mikey, I think it's the estate agent bit that does it........
I do about 100 - 150 miles a day with my job, which is all fast A/B roads where i am constantly going from 30-70, 70-40, over taking, hairpin, etc.
I have a remapped 130 tdi and i put on Uniroyal rainsports about 3k ago and i'm genuinely worried that they are going to need replaced very soon. Although 61quid fitted at my local tyre place i'm not going to complain too much.
My car seems to generate diesel as i drive though, i get about 55mpg for the days driving. What i lose in rubber, i make in diesel! haha
