Here is yet another silly question:-
What sort of tyre life should I expect? When I bought my car, it was fitted with a set of Avon Triple Duty sidecar tyres, which, because they were well worn, I replaced them just on a year ago at 96730 miles with a set of Mitas HN02s (because they were about half the price of replacement Avons.
Since then I have covered 5158 miles. The rear tyres are almost bald and the front ones are not far behind. I must admit that i was hoping for more miles than this, but, given that the Mitas tyres appear to be quite 'soft' rubber, I suppose that they wear quite quickly
I am replacing them with a set of Avon Triple Duties which appear to be a harder rubber and will match the existing spare.
What are other peoples' experiences of tyre life?
