Folks changing rears at 5k-20k depending on how much of a Miss Daisy they are..fronts approx twice that..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

And if the car is standing over winter, this can flat spot tyres.
I move my cars around the drive, to stop this happening.

Depends on the tire and how you drive. 500TW street set still going strong at ~18k miles. 200TW track set died in >1k miles :driving:

Yep, there is something not right with him/ her/ they/ it.
All threads started by him have never had a response after input from others.
This thread is on the G29 forum, yet the OP stated in another thread he has an E86.
Then there is the spam PM he sent to a member a few days ago. :?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
