RBS, after a couple of years absorbing the collectice wisdom on this subject, I have concluded that tyre life is primarily dictated by type of use (M1 vs. A4069) and style (exuberance? 😉) brand must make a difference but it need testing that we owners will struggle with. You can try: https://www.tyrereviews.com/ and finally, Tyresonthedrive.com (Halfords mobile) is worth a price check. Good luck!

Thanks for responses, the consensus seems to be Michelins giving best wear performance. My Continentals have been looked after and not abused, pressures checked regularly and mixed driving, but it looks like the fronts will be down to 3mm by 10/11000 miles. Not good wear by any standards, so it will be Michelins next time around.

My S came from the factory with Hankooks which lasted 13,500 joyful miles. I'm now on Michelin and hoping you are right 🤞. Time will tell...

I'm vaguely illegal after 17k miles and looking, possibly going for Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS.

A nearly two tonne car that has been known to get to 60 in 3.6 seconds will wear tyres somewhat if you're in a hurry.
