Hi guys. This post is more for information than anything.
Had the GTD just over 9 months now and covered 7,200 very enjoyable miles. Touch wood, the car's been perfect, no squeaks, rattles or warning lights (and I hope it stays that way).
Normally about this time I do a tyre rotation fronts to rear, and that's what i did today. armed with my digital tread depth, when the wheels were off the car i took some readings, this is what I found (don't worry, there's no shock horror surprises)
Both sides of the car are wearing the same as each other to within 0.2mm so thats good
Tyres were measured across all 3 tread bands of each tyre, and whilst the outsides on all are wearing just a little bit more than the insides, they were all within 0.3mm of the inside of the treads.
So fronts were at the minimum part 4.95mm
Rears at the minimum part were 6.8mm
TBH, considering the Bridgestone Potenzas spent a lot of time spinning in the wet cold winter, I don't think they are wearing too bad considering the power and torque available, and the heavy weight of the diesel lump.
I hoping that now swapping fronts to rears I might get 15-18k miles out of a set which I'd be fairly happy with.
