What mileage have you got out of BFG AT's

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
The BFG A/Ts on my 110 are presently at (circa) 64,000 & going very strong

I'll guesstimate that, barring damage, I could get at least 80,000 from them

Jimbo:
So 56000 is not that high  :oops: , a few years back when we had company supplied cars (I now have to provide my own vehicle), I got through tyres at an alarming rate - one Astra used to knock out front rubber every 5000 miles..........I got hauled over the coals on several occasions as the lease company were getting upset !!!!

L90OOK:
Depends how low you are taking them...?

When the firm I was working for in the 80's had a fleet of escort vans mine was used for the tyres twice by the transport manager to replace other vans sets, in 65K I wore out one set one nutter only managed 8k...Funny thing was on accross country runs I was usually faster than the nutters!

Mind on me rs2000 10k would have been good on 225/60x13 Dunlop road rally tyres! 210 bhp and  a get a move on  driving style with 'soft' rubber does that, doing Newport Gwent to Southampton and back, via Salisbury plain, every weekend soon got through them, 65mins door-to-door was my best run, wouldn't want to try that on modern roads with scameras and all now though ;-)
