Yes but the life expectancy of rear tyres on the Accord is about the same as the average age of their target market :D

....is not helpfull.

As said, it depends WHICH black and round Dunlop we're talking about. If an Eco durable tyre then, no not really.

But if it's a soft and sticky performance tyre, then yes, good wear.

See.... ? :)

Post by: plym ian on 06 April 2015, 09:04:59: Dear admin person

Firstly can I commend you on a fantastic web forum.
But if I may make a suggestion or two

1) make a section dedicated to tyres
2) put the word tyres in the word filter

Yours sincerely

Grumpy bloke
Plymouth

;D ;D ;D

Post by: chrisgixer on 06 April 2015, 18:20:47: Fair to good mileage out of those then, I'd say.

They aren't Dunlops softest model so, should get reasonable miles out of those. Think Kev had a set of those a few years ago.
