If I get 37000kms I'll be stoked!. In my experience, high performance tyres on a high performance car = 25,000kms on average. (Falken Azenis on my Type R = 12,000, by they are a semi slick).
The Pirelli's I am not particularly familiar with yet, but would imagine would be similar wear rate to the RE010, RE040 wear rates where I got 25,000 or so on previous subaru's

with how big the fines are for speeding i've always found that cornering is my next biggest thrill.... hence tyres lasting not very long on my cars. love a bit of controlled 4wheel drift.
37k= not too bad?

I'm rapped if I get 25k so if I got 37k bonus (I do do track days though)

Drive the thing harder, 37K from your tyres is embarrassing!
Seriously, well done. You must be running good pressures and I guess lots of highway stuff?

ahh
well, the fact you got quite a bit of good mileage on them will out weigh the costs i'm sure - if you sort of look at it from that perspective

just out of interest, has the wear been even on all four and on the tyres individually? one thing i've found is that it's ultra important to find a good alignment mob. i'm the sort of guy that when pedders are doing a "$14, 28 point safety check" i'll still pay $110 for a 4 wheel alignment.

Adam that $14 28 Point safety check dont include wheel alignment. The check is basically for you to have a pulse check before tracking it or seeing if everything is ok.
AWD alignment is $90. I got it done yesterday.
Very good.
Phil.

yes the wear has been even,i had the original wheel alignment re done by subaru as i wasnt happy with it when i purchased the car.i had one further allignment at blacktown,so maybe that helped with the even wear.
has any one got a recommened allignment place around liverpool??
