Just worked out that the original omega estate wheel bearing I am soon to change has done circa
158 million revolutions during it's lifetime on the car covering 200,000 miles . :o :o :o
Possibly got to add a few more though for all the distance it has done in reverse . . . or does the odometer still clock up in reverse ? ;D ;D
17" alloys fitted with 235 x 45 x 17 tyres . . . for anyone who wants to double check for me ;D ;D ;D ;D
A totally useless but interesting bit of statistic info ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I get 159,396,226 rotations. Your reverse mileage is included in this, as the sensor just reads the trigger, it doesn't care which around it's going.
EDIT
63360 (inches in a mile) x 200,000 (miles) / 79.5 (Circumference in inches)

I did say Circa ;D ;D
I used a Google tyre circumference calculator which said 799 revs per mile from that size tyre
Actual sum was 159,800,000 . . . should have put Circa 160 million
Whats a couple of Mill between Oofers ;D ;D ;D
Not surprised its worn out :o

Have you allowed for the difference in rolling radius between tyre brands, and as the tyre wears in use? :P

Only wanted a rough figure out of curiosity :P :P :P
. . . you can calculate the above if you want Nick ;D
Thinking now that tyre pressure would maybe vary results slightly as well .
But 160 Million is close enough for my initial curiosity . Ball Park Figure comes to mind :)

What some people do for fun.
It's also maths, which defeats me.

Front or rear as this will confuse things nicely :y
