Rear tyres

Hi just a question - wht of condition is your rear shocks and springs? I had a TT that had similar probs and as soon as I replaced the springs/shocks the problem was gone! Cheers
 
After 3 sets, I consistently get 16,000 from my Michelin Pilot Sports on rear (17" 255 width). Maybe I'm not trying hard enough?
 
In for first service after 19500 miles on Michelin PS N2's - fronts still legal, (235 /35) rears not so much [;)] (305 /30)
 
Hi, I only got around 7k on my Bridgestones as well, no trackdays, just a little spirited drive every once in a while[;)] Just had Michilin PS2 put all round, along with a refurb from Exel so all going great now. Will try to upload pics of refurbed wheels
 
Mine came with new conti's (295/30/18) on my C4S and I got 9k out of them. They only needed replacement due to inner wall wear. I've got new Conti's on them now (N2 like the last rears) and am going to get 4 wheel alignment done. I paid £230 per tyre after shopping around. It would appear that no N rated tyre can be swapped round (to wear the other edge and get more miles from the tyre) as they all seem to be uni-directional tyres. Does anybody know of N rated tyres that you can swap over?
 
Directionals can be put on either side, but you obviously have to have them turned on the wheels. If the alignment and camber are correct, uneven wear shouldn't be an issue. Mine always wear evenly, but I'm quite anal about it. Edit: Sorry - WELCOME Sat!
 
Hope this dosnt depress you all but Continentals on my C2 Cab, on second set from new ....car now on 40K miles ...... I must drive faster !
 
Shameless plug............ I have 4 part used Michelin Pilot Cup Sports in 17 x 255 x 40 size -- these are left over after my 2012 PCGB Club racing season. Particularly good if anyone is doing a few trackdays. Would like £250 ono for them.
