What mileage are owners of the GTD getting with their tyres ?
Is the gtd sore on front tyres with it having a heavier engine .
Thanks

Same with mine as it new too.   :smiley:  But I've heard read somewhere the ESP and Limited Slip means the back gets used....

Bridgestone RE050A fitted from brand new fronts lasted 27,300 miles.   Rears on 5mm now with 35,000 miles on the clock and the new Micheln PS3's are on 5mm (they only started with 7mm estimated life span around 18,000 miles).

It all depends on how and were you drive it, make of turret etc etc. Too many variables imo
