Rear tyre wear.
« on: 03 January 2015, 16:27:55 »
How long should I reasonably expect the rear tyres on a 2.6 Omega to last?

10,500 miles and they are down to the wear markers. :-\

500 miles more and they will be completely buggered.

Mine have been on for 3 years and 30,000 miles. The impending MOT means I need to buy another pair.
They are 235/45 17's in the £110 a pair? That will do fine brand

This normally true....centre worn most....then overinflated....both outside edges worn more than centre...underinflated....

Try dropping the psi to 32  :)
