Expected life for rear tires!!!!
Which is expected life for rear tires (315/17 GY Eagle F1) of a BD 302-345hp for daily, non drag, use?
Thanks Alfonso |
Alfonso,
That will be completely up to you ;) I think you will get atleast 10,000 miles out of them. |
or down to ..... 1 :p
miles per tyres ..... tyres per mile ..... it all comes down to smiles per miles - and they'll never stop |
My first set of rear tires only got about 5k miles on them. Of coarse thats when I first got the car. My second set already has over 5k and they are not even half wore out. I run the 315/45ZR17 F1 Supercars at $380 each. Since they don't make them anymore and they cost an arm and a leg I am more careful how I drive.
Or atleast I try to be. Scott |
Tires are like condoms... Some last a long time, some don't. You can waste a nice set of street radials in 2-3 hours of spirited driving, or they might get you 7500-10,000 miles. I wouldn't expect more then 5,000 with a heavy foot though.

I have found that the Good Year F1's have a lot of outstanding qualities.
But tread life isn't one of them. I have them on one of my street driven VW's (Heavily modified suspension, about 300 HP, driven very hard) and I got 7k miles on my last set. I did buy them again though, because they perform really well. |
I purchase a couple of of rear's each year and after four years, I still do not know what my gas mileage is.

Checked with my resident engineer and he came up with this formula
Horsepower x Shoe Size = Tire Life Mark |
