Tyred and emotional
YOUR experience is normal, though many people are accustomed to getting double that mileage from tyres. It comes down to your expectations. In the old days, if you bought a sports car you expected the tyres to wear out quicker than the tyres on a family car. It was almost a badge of honour to wear out tyres quickly on a sports car. If you didn't, you weren't driving fast enough. Today's cars, even family four-doors, all handle like sports cars, perform like sports cars and are fitted with performance tyres that wear out faster.
