That was a hell of a lot of continental motorway driving though. Historically Michelin tyres were always the high mileage tyre, but they don't seem to get mentioned much on performance car forums. But they are good enough for F1 cars.
I don't think speed affects tyre wear as much as country road driving with a lot of cornering and braking compared with relatively steady speed dual carriageway/motorway miles

4 x Continental Sport Contact for £578, hope they last longer than the 16,000 that the P Zero’s they replaced had managed.
Great price. Did that include balancing and casing disposal of the P Zeros that were no heroes! :lol:
What size are they?
Yes that was for everything, they are 19 inch. There was a 10% discount available when I bought them.

4 x new 19" Michelin Latitude Sport 3s cost me £573.54 on 23 Jan 2020 via Mitcheldever Tyres' Protyre division.

The same OE Michelins did 17,754m with 2.5 to 3mm remaining all round on my SD. My predominently country roads driving not the best for long tyre life.

New Pirelli’s all round today. That’s two complete sets used over 54,500 miles. Both times the rears have done 27000 plus. One front today had 35000 done. It was plain knackered. The other had 25000 on it with a little meat left. £920 for 21’s. I could have saved £50 by waiting a week but the potential fine and points put me off that notion.
Macan SD Vocano Grey. LEDs, Pano Roof, PSE, Sports Chrono, PASM, Sports Design Mirrors, 21" Sports Classics in Black, lots of other extras.
