I used to get 60,000 MILES with Michelins on my 99's and around 45-50,000 miles/70-80,000 km on my 900's, so I was hoping the Pilots on the 9-5 wouldn't be that much worse, but I guess I can't complain. I'm probably driving and accelerating a bit faster in the 9-5, it's so smooth! > >I actually ended up getting some "Continental Econs" from Bob Jane. >Apparantly voted one of the best tyres recently in Europe.
