Well i did 14,000 on my winter tyres and they still have 4mm left on them.  Normally get 12 - 15,000 out of summer tyre, but i do a fair bit of motorway mileage.  :happy2:

There are really too many variables to get a sound answer to this one.
My 08 gt tdi sport still has the orignal michelin on it after 4yrs & 67,000 miles, but i guess its been on the rear from new. The side walls are showing perish signs.
Generally i would want 26,000 miles of motorway driving from my tyres.

for spirited road driving thats about the minimum i'd expect. I've done a set of PS2 fronts in about 8k before so its not outside the realms of probability that you've just used them up.

A pair of Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics lasted me 8000 miles on the front of  Mk5 TDI.

I`ve done nearly 20,000 on the same tyre fitted to an Impreza STi. Doesn`t really make sense.

The TDI must have a heavy front end. Then again I replced the Goodyears on the Golf with Michelin PS3s and they`ve done 8k miles and are only part worn  :smiley:

Googyear F1v2 fitted at 41700miles... now done ~59000miles. So thats about 17500miles by my maths. They are just above the 1.6mm markers.

I do a lot of motorway miles, but also a lot of fast road miles too (I do use it properly  :driver: ).... I'm very happy with the wear on them.
