A008's I have already got about 10,000km's out of them with plenty of tread left (probably another 2mm to go until the tread wear indicator.

A032R's however I was able to tell the difference in front and rear wear within 4 days (about 100 miles) but I suspect that was because they were new and the novely hadn't worn off yet!

dude ill tell u wat i say to my customers. it depends on the way ur driving, how long ur driving for each time, the type of road, and the type of tyre u got.

usually a good tyre with usual wear should last a good 30,000 to 40,000kms. but it does vary from car to car and driver to driver or in a minis case about 15,000kms to 20,000kms

i got about 16,000kms out of my bridgestones

I get about 15,000 KM out of Yoko A008s.
Bridgestone SF226 last longer and are cheaper, but have less grip.
A032Rs would be nice, but I wouldn't run them on a daily driver.

The only positive thing to say about Falkens is they are black & keep the
rims off the ground, YUCK!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on my 2nd set of tyres in 4 years. I've had Falkens and now I'm on Brigstone's and I have'nt noticed any difference. Yokes are a pretty grippy tyre (so I've been told) but they will wareout quicker, thats why I don't want them on my daily drive.
IMO the Brigstones look more period.
