I'm also staggared how someone can get 27k out of a set of fronts.

My Passat V6 TDI gets through front tyres at a very alarming rate. 8000 miles is good for a pair. I've tried all sorts of tyres and they all seem to last around the same, but the last 2 sets have been PS3's. I think they are worth the extra money for the low noise, comfort and all round ability over less brands.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I know I am really impressed 27K and they were just down on the 1.6mm bars.  The insides were slightly worse for wear but they weren't illegal.  No rotations at all the backs are still on 5mm so they must be good for 50k.
