I drive a GPA.  My tyres, Pirellis Zero Neros,  last around 12.500 miles.  How long do other GPA tyres last?

I agree. False economy. One place I'd never try to save cash.

Well my front left will last about 12500 miles the front right I reckon about 5000 miles more and the rears are lasting very well looks like it varies on driving style and condition of the road

I got about 15,000 miles out of my first set. They wore out very quickly at the end because the tracking got knocked out.

6000 miles and plenty of tyres left. I am reckoning on about 10000 which is not as bad as I had feared looking at some of the posts on here.   Wink

Never, ever, ever buy part warns. You know NOTHING about them. They could have been sat in some dry warehouse for months, rotting before you get them on your car. They dont last as long (obv, less tread).

And really, how much can you save? And is it something you want to save money on? Its the part of the car which connects you to the road, its just so important!

By the way I wasn't advising you to buy part worns. That's just what I'm goin to do as a family member owns the company. Maybe I shouldnt contribute to a tyre thread in future!
