I am currently running Hankook Ventus S-1 Evo2 K-117 all round. My rears need replaced after approx 15,000 miles. I am running 255/35/18 and dont drive too hard (read as no burn outs or drifting!).

Is this mileage normal before replacement? The tyres were good but tempted to replace them with something that will last longer and am open to recommendations. Price on like for like having phoned local companies is £130 each.
 
I dream of getting 12,000 from my MPS tyres. 15,000. Therefore appears excellent from his here. :thumbsup:

I had over 20k from my Avon zz5 tyres, not sure if they’re still current though? :?

So many factors involved, but 15k is good mileage, so if you are happy with the tyre then stick with them.

You need to change your forum name to Teddy Bear, with that sort of gentlemanly driving. :)
 
Not slating the Hankooks at all , they are decent tyres but for the same money ( i assume you are on the S1 Evo2) you can buy Vredestein Vorti .
I have tried both tyres numerous times on Z4s & the Vreds are way ahead in every department ( wet + dry / road noise / comfort ) & id expect you to get way beyond 15k from them too
