Well, I am absolutely astonished by this given my previous experience with tyres.
Today I have taken the 17" Hirsch alloys off my car and examined the tyres.
The alloys were fitted on 3 June 2003 and the tyres already had a few hundred miles on them as they have been fitted to a demonstrator.
It is just six days short of 10 months that I have had the tyres on the car.
The mileage when the alloys were fitted was: 74,768. The mileage today is 92,011 - so they have covered 17,243 miles with me, that's an average of 1,724 miles per month.
In that time I have also been on TWO trackdays - one at Anglesey and one at Goodwood.
Here's a photo of one of the tyres:
So, for long life and performance I reckon the Dunlop Sport SP9000 is a good tyre to go for - I shall certainly be asking for two more to replace the front tyres ...after I have worn them out completely at the next trackday
