A"48s …can anyone tell me how much i should be paying for two rears…and fitting?
thanks!
ps…6000 miles and not done a track day yet!
is 6000 miles normal as i do not drive like a nutter on the highway!
6000… you’ve done well
wear indicators are @ 2mm so there’s a bit of legal life left in them and then a whole lot of illegal life…do a trackday with Bookatrack and then let them swap them over at the end of the day - they are usually very competitive on tyres.
I’m with Chris, you’ve done well.
My last set of rears lasted 400miles!!!

Cricky! I’m not sure if I did or didn’t want to be in the passenger seat!

Yeah about three track days and a few donuts outside the workshop.
I managed 4500 miles with a few track days bought two new rears then a week later got a puncture in one of the fronts
here up north when i was a lad, hardware shops used to sell… “segs”…“metal studs” that you used to hammer in the bottom of your shoes to make them last longer!
i have just had an idea?
Anyone else remember the classic “tread extender” thread from 2001? I think it’s now gone from the archives, but perhaps Steve Green/IDG can ferret it out for us to re-read
First efforts failed.
It was a classic episode of the Russ’n’Pesky show with various supporting cast. The spare tyre hunt is another that comes to mind.
Ian
LOL
10,500 miles and the back two tyres are border line legal… is that good or does it make it sound like i been driving like a wuss!
Wuss!
I wonder if your nickname gas anything to do with it
Trance, whereabouts “oop North” are you? I could sort you out with a couple of part worns if you like?
Cheers

I have failed as well! Although, I am struggling to remember the original thread - was it about a product that could be applied to tyres to extend their life?

I have been there and it was good
6020 miles and both rears now on the wear indicators. will be getting them swapped just as soon as supply becomes available. thats no track days but i’m not shy driving in on the road
I have nearly donald ducked mi Rear Proxes T1R’s in a similar amount of time
Thats including no track days at all
310 fitted should be your target.
