one-day Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 what sort of millage would you expect to get from a tyre bridgestone protenza 205/45/17 front wheel drive correct pressure no wheel spins.
banarama Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 about 25 thousand no wheel spins .dont hit the kerb ,
Trevmk3 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 depends on what type of road you drive on, i drive on alot of tight country roads and sometimes at a nice quick pace and dont get them to last that long
one-day Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 about 25 thousand no wheel spins .dont hit the kerb , so if i said the dealer says about 7000 what would you say or do, and there on the new fiesta mk7 1.6 scrubed a pair in 4000 miles, the clowns lowered it for me and forgot to do tracking to suit now have to wait to see if they will pay.
banarama Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 7 thousand is not a lot for a bridgestone tyre/budget maybe.
one-day Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 i no i'm going to ring bridgestone tomorrow to see what they say..
Grizzley Dell Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 you should get a least 12k out of any tyre driven sensibly, unless youve got an early freelander which wears tyres unevenly.
one-day Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 cheers i was hopeing for some where around that figure ithink dealer realised they made a bo bo and did not adjust the tracking when they lowered it for me time will tell...
sab6024 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I had Conti's on my brand new Mk2 Ka and they only lasted 10,000 miles and that was swapping the front to the rear to even out wear....they are truely terrible, got cheapies on now and they've done 16,000 miles and still have 4mm of wear left
Grizzley Dell Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 budgets are usualy a harder compound so last longer but give less grip.
sab6024 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 budgets are usualy a harder compound so last longer but give less grip. It's got Uniroyals on at the mo and they seem to grip better than the Conti's plus I get them cheap through my lickle Brother....bargain
Fiesta Steve Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 about 25 thousand no wheel spins .dont hit the kerb , so if i said the dealer says about 7000 what would you say or do, and there on the new fiesta mk7 1.6 scrubed a pair in 4000 miles, the clowns lowered it for me and forgot to do tracking to suit now have to wait to see if they will pay. I lowered a Fiesta once and never did the tracking and fooked a good set of tyres in a day !!!! I would have loved them to have lasted 4000 miles !!!
