Most I ever managed was 18k from a set of Runway Enduro 916s following front suspension rebuild...

When I first got it, I was fitting Goodyear NCTs which only lasted 10k, so seems to be a target life for Goodyear tyres :-\

The all round performance of the Eagle F1 Assyms make it a reasonable mid range tyre, and inspite of TBs efforts to destroy his manufacturingly defective tyres, they still outlasted Dunlops best efforts... ;)

I also wonder if TB was using the XL tyres :-\ as that, relatively low pressure combined with cornering and braking loads cannot possibly have done the sidewalls any favours :-\

Have you tried Nankangs NS2's..... I used to get about that sort of mileage from them when I was buying them for my 2.2.... £55 a pop fitted then .... but never pushed them obviously with a 2.2  :-\

Not from new, obviously (budget tyres aren't for me - there isn't a good one, and very, very few acceptable ones), but driven a few Omegas with them on.
