Standard Gti tyres 53500km and counting

[jueshen]

i have had Yokohama Sdrives since i bought he car
i rotate and balance every 10 000 KM
drive the car 7 days a week
and i have 42 000 KM going strong!! probably another 10 000 KM left
and Yoko's are very soft...

I've done about 33k on the standard tyres and still lots of tread left. I do lots of highway driving, i can see them lasting a while longer yet.

60,000kms on a set of tyres? Faaaaaar out you guys need to do more club runs. I'm replacing my fronts after 17,000 or so.

(and I reckon it's relevant as my car has pretty much the same drivetrain as yours)

53,000 km on original tyres too

Ive done about 53000 kms in my polo gti on the original tyres. I think theyre still good for another 5000 to 10,000 k's, they've been rotated about 2-3 times. I thought this was pretty normal tyre usage! I mostly commute to work and only thrash it a little on weekends.
I obviously drive like an old woman compared to most people by the sound of things!
