Tyre wear.
Not sure if this has been covered before but what sort of km's do you guys get out of a set of i) front tyres and ii) rear tyres.
The brand of tyre used would be interesting also. What pressures do you run. I have been told somewhere between 20psi and 25 psi works OK. Regards, Phil |
Garrett should chime in here. I think he's single handedly keeping Bob Jane in business. What's it been, 2 sets of rears in 7,000KM?
I've got a pair of his worn out rears in the back of the shed and there ain't much left on them. All torque and no traction :3DSMILE: Cheers |
:eek:
Just about fu#^@d my tyres in 12,000k's. Must be the rough highways Mrs. REPTYL talks about. **) Cheers Bernie |
Tyre or Tire wear is directly proportional to the type of driving and the road conditions.
If you're gonna play, you're gonna pay. If you chaps would quit driving up-side-down, may be the tires would last longer. LOL Typically I got around 10k miles out of a set of rubber. But, that was a good 20 to 30 years ago. Hope this helps. :o) |
:confused:
I just cannot work it out? Is it the driving up side down or the constant 360's that cause wear. :3DSMILE: Cheers Bernie |

Yeah thanks there Mike,
Not happy with my tire wear, but i've worked out that if i leave the gal in the shed the tires last longer. Mind you shes in the shed still at CTC with that special development issiue being attended to, although i think this may increase the excessive tire use%/ Mike if i take even more of the preload off the rear will this help ? Thanks in advance. Might look at those pilot tyres:rolleyes: |
I dont know what you guys do with your cars but that tyre wear seems a bit excessive . Just remember though the bigger the tyre width the softer the rubber needs to be to hold you to the black stuff . I have 235/35/18 on my clubby and i just changed them after 18,000 and i do a bit of excessive driving around corners and also this car weighs in at 1700 kg so i would have thought when my Cobra is on the road i should get more then 20,000 as it is so light .

The lighter the car, the heavier the right foot.

What do we do????
:confused: Numerous 360's (donuts) Roll backs 360's out of corners. Drifts Sideways drifts into the parking line Burnouts :eek: And that's all at McDonald's through the Drive - Thru. %/ Cheers Bernie |

I have been for a quick lap around the block with Garrett & I can fully understand why his tyres last 7000 kl, I allmost would have thought that was a good number of k's on his tyres.
