VE SV6 Tyre Wear

[The X Man]

Take it to a proper wheel aligment place, not the "know it all" tyre places that know jack shite about VE's.

My SV6 had a slight 'veer left' tendency. Holden looked at it and adjusted something and it's been good ever since. I get the wheels aligned periodically. The latest Bridgestones have done 30,000km and look about half life. I don't drive it hard and much of the driving I've done has been on motorways. I check the pressures every time I fill her up.

Recommendations guys; to replace my OEM, 245x45/ R18 Bridgestone RE050A.

25,000 out of bridgestones they couldn't have rotated them my old man pulled 42,000 out a set of Bridgestone on a vr sv6 but they were rotated every 5,000 and aligned. But I work at beaurepairs ad see ve come in all the time. And I've only seen probs 2 that have pulled #### all out there tyres but I could do with the ur driving if heaps hard on the throttle and take corners heaps that do it aswell

RE050A or RE760

Recommendations guys; to replace my OEM, 245x45/ R18 Bridgestone RE050A.

I've been pretty happy with the original tyres, had the same ones on since May 2008.

Was thinking of replacing them with Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE760!

Any comments?

i found with the ute the oem bridgestones tram tracked like a mother ###ker, and the oem yohahamas on the wagon are noisy as with 12k on them so the next lot im getting is either
2nd placed winner SP SPORT MAXX TT, Dunlop, Australia

or 1st Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

i do 50K km per year so wheel alignement every 5K km is uneconomical and also only get arount 25K km out of the good BRIDGESTONE so the best value for money I have had lately are the KUHMO KU27 in 245/45/18 which I have so far got 45K km out of them and still going. seen them for $170 from tempe tyres at the moment but I paid $250 last time so I am going to buy them now and store them for a few months, first time in 5 years that a set has lasted a year or more. happy to go again.

Crikey! That's very good mileage.

i got 61,000 out of my re050a's and was very happy with them all the way until i changed them, i got another set of them from the tyrerack.com from the states, delivered to my door for $1217.42, a lot cheaper than what i can get them here, and delivered in 6 days.

I got my re050a's in 245 40 19 for $265 each fitted, $1060 for four, from my local (not big chain) tyre shop
