Hi Guys - just wondering what sort of life you get from your front tyres...

I have only done 2k on my Proxes and they are seriously worn on the inside already.... would that suggest something up with the set-up or do these tyres wear out very quickly??

Cheers.

you must be running serious negative camber!!!! they wear reasonably quick (7k and you will prob need new tyres soon) but not that quick

As said, you should get a bit more.

I have had a few pairs of these and they dont last long, think mine lasted around 6k.

One airfield track day and the outer shoulders on my virtually new proxes were wrecked :?

Hmm I was thinking of getting proxies for my next set... Got Goodyear F1's at the mo which were on the car when i bought it - done almost 10k miles since and they still have lots of tread on em...

F1's FTW!!!

As said, Proxes are a very soft compound, but you should get more than that out of them!! I'd deffo get yourself booked into a wheel alignment place, ASAP!

tracking was miles out.... so bad in fact that that the garage had to heat the track rod ends to get them to move..... surprisingly the car feels much sharper now!!!! :shock: :shock:
