Is you Schumacher innit bruv? haha
I'd be distraught at getting just 8k miles out of a set of tyres for a car that just commutes.
If I wore out tyres having fun in a Hot Hatch or Sports Car...I wouldn't be bothered, comes with the territory.
Ha ha, no far from - I don't need my arse wiped for a start (sorry, terribly poor taste joke I know).
I've always got 8-10k miles from tyres, I don't tend to let them get down to the markers, but I think there's a few reasons.
My driving is a lot of A-B roads.
I live in Wales, not sure I know of any straight roads need me.
I carry a lot of stuff for work.
I'm reasonably careful with pressures and they've worn evenly so far.
