Just thought I would share that after my service yesterday my 22" Toyo Proxes are "barely worn at all" according to dealer, after 15,500 miles I was mightly impressed......

What is the expected life span of a good set of tyres on a RRS?

Sounds like these could be good for 40K......

I've heard 30k+ so that's good to hear..

It's how the grip tails off that might be the telling factor over tread depth  RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

Thats good to hear. my Audi used to munch a set every 8k-10k, so getting anything over 20k would be a massive improvement  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Continental on '20 dead after 22,500 miles... I have replaced with General Grabbber UHP Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

Gone: Range Rover Vogue '11 4.4TDV8, Range Rover Sport ‘59, Range Rover Sport ‘56

Same here on my audi too, it use to love eating its front tyres, my scooby used to get through a set of four toyos in 8-10,000 miles my L200 i think was the best by far 47000 hard miles including two track days yes thats right track days as a guest and the tyres still had 50% tread left on them when i sold it. (bridgestone duelers) and it was still on the original brake discs and pads Served me well did that truck.

Definitely a case of you get what you pay for................so called "Budget" tyres I bet are not as long running

No chance... the Delintes I had (apart from de-laminating on the walls) were half gone after 5k RRS gone

Cheers for that JF - my Hankooks are just about done after 20k miles and I was thinking about trying the Toyos next. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

thats pretty impressive mileage! my goodyears are a year old with about 12000 miles (mainly town/b road driving) and are nearly gubbed!

I am looking for a set of 22s next , i would probably get them with the proxys, as the last few cars i have found them to be pretty good roadholding wise, BUT i do like the smoothness of mine on 20s, can anyone tell me if there IS actually any difference between 20s and 22s from experience?
thanks

Before, i used a Ford Focus to cover only the airport runs.
Did 60k (sixty) miles with the GoodYear Eagles.
Normal to fast driving.

Replaced them only because the walls started to look a bit dried out.
The profiele was still wel above limits.

However, the Contis on the RRS are shot already. but only on the edges....

What is a good shop/internet site in the UK for good priced tyres?
I´ve got my own courier, who drops them off within 24 hrs at my door (Spain) for 100 euro.

Thanks
