Default Tyre life!

Just calculated that the old Michelin tyres on our a6 have done 19,200 miles (pilot sport 2s) when I dropped it off on Saturday for a wheel refurb and fitting of continental sport contact 5s - not bad considering the eagle f1s we had on before only lasted 10k before the tread was minimal!

The current tyres were utterly shot on the inner and outer edges due to lots of town work but still above the 2mm wear markers in the middle

Don't think I've ever kept a car long enough to be sticking a 3rd new set on in our ownership before!
