Mine appear to have lasted 18,800 miles 
Is that actually possible ?
Well, as it says on a couple of the other threads, I finally got some new tyres yesterday having done the morning at Bedford.
Thought they were getting a bit low and know they weren't new when I bought the car and have done 8,000 miles since.
The rather shocking thing was that when I asked Steve the tyre guy to look at them, he said one of the rears was delaminating so badly that it could blow on the next corner
Really not good considering I'd spent the morning round the track and got close to 140.....would have been very serious had it gone
I then suggested that perhaps I should drive home gingerly and when he found out that was 200 miles he said I shouldn't even go that far on them........
Kwik Fit wanted £289 per tyre!!!!!! and he only had track tyres there which were not suitable given I only do tracks a few times a year. He then phoned Toyo and had some delivered to the track, all fitted for £705 which I thought was great.
Car drives so much better now and I think there's a little less road noise....
Now, the tyre guy thinks these were the original tyres from the car, helped out by the fact that the locking wheel nut was still sealed in a bag inside the tool kit.
Shame I missed out on the afternoon session but I'll definitely go back to Bedford...
