MY 2002 VX Commodore Lumina has done 49,000km and is still on its original Bridgestone tyres. The rears will do about 52,000km and the fronts 55,000km before I have to replace them, which makes me think that tyre wear problems I keep reading about relate to the choice of tyres, tyre pressures and the way you drive your car. Do you agree?
I HAVE to agree. Buy good tyres, keep them inflated to the correct pressure, maybe a little higher, and drive with your head instead of your right foot and you will get better mileage from your tyres. But the Commodore is prone to higher wear of the rear tyres because of its design. The old independent rear suspension was a compromise design and not one you would use if not constrained by budgets.
