Hi,
We are now past 25000Km on the second set of tyres Dunlop 235/45R17 97W XL SP Sport 01. Original tread depth 5.6 mm. Depth now on front 2.5 mm. Both depths to the wear bars. So 45% tread left which translates to 45,000 km life approximately. Had Potenza RE050s as OE but a bad wheel alignment at 15,000 chopped out the front inner corners and by the time I noticed the damage it had been done. So I can not really compare the two for wear characteristics. The dunlops seem to be a grippy as the bridgestones and the car does not wander about a highway speeds, so I'm fairly happy with the dunlops but they were expensive at about 270 per corner with 20% discount, but the old tyres needed to be replaced quickly so I didn't have the time to shop around. In another 10,000 or so I'll start looking for something that might last a bit longer. Cheers
