Regular practice gets those moves into muscle memory and instinct but one course is very limited. The problem is getting the practice

yeah it's good for like reflex tweaking. and they work like a charm at the driving school in their GTI, but I don't see it helping you a whole lot when you start going sideways in your Tazz :p

when is a good amount of km to have your tyres replaced? or would you have to do that at least once a year?

2mm of tread left on the tyre then I would start looking.

Road legislature says 1mm but that's to little in my opinion, if your sitting at 2-3mm I would start looking at new tyres now

weil im sitting on 17000 km now and the tread is still looking great so i will probably only have to get tyres next year then.

i must say i had a lil opel a while ago and when i bought the car i fitted new tires on it and i managed to drive 4 years with it and when i sold it there was still about 50% thread on those tires (and i drove that car every single flippen day). imo if your car is not heavy on tires replace them after 3 years (cause the rubber gets hard after a while and a tire burst is more likely) i rotate my tires every 6 months so they last a bit longer cause they end up wearing evenly.

ja i have to take my car in for balancing and rotation this weekend...i have kumho tyres on my car at the moment but when i do replace them i will go back to Continental brand tyres, just cause i know the brand and trust it more than this new ausie brand tyre
 
What dohc said, tyre wear is very funny depending on your alignment and set up, then also each tyre is different so that changes things. 3 years is a good estimate for age.

Also check your inflation monthly to keep tyre wear even

you should get AT LEAST double that mileage on tires. I reckon average lifespan for tires is around the 50 000km mark

yeah, I put Bridgestones on my polo when I bought it, and they still looked brand new when I sold it 3 years later

I put nitrogen in my tires now when I had to replace the front 2... which reminds me, I'm overdue for a top-up
 
Plassie not working today. That means i'm stuck with shitty internet for the rest of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
