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.

They seem most worn in the centre of the tread.......and one tyre seems more worn than the other.

I run 34 PSI in the rears.

The car came with Michelin Primacy tyres. Standard fit but totally shit in my view.

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
