Hi Guys, please please need help!!!! buying FL Octy VRS

Good luck with getting 30k out of a front pair of vRS tyres grandpa! :confused:

:rofl:

I dont drive like a saint. SWMBO drives like she's in qualifying of a grand prix, and at work we need to do things briskly to reach SLA's (cars fully laiden with parts).

And we managed 30K (fronts) on the Octy, and the works Mk4 Mondeo's just hitting 25K with, I guess, another 1k left before new tyres all round - seems harder on tryes than the Mk3 was.

it's all down to decent tyres (both work & Octy are versions of Michelin Pilot Primacy's), knowing what clutch control is, and not over cooking when cornering/turning.

If you (anyone reading) cant get tyres to last 10-15K MIN, then IMHO you need to seriously look at your driving! Just as some F1 drivers blister their tyres badly, whilst their team mate is fine on the exact same rubber, on an exact same car driven at similar speed and conditions.
