I bought a ZR 105 a the begining of February 2002 and have clocked up only 3200 miles and already need a new pair of front tyres. My dealer says its to be expected because it's a performance car and is set up that way. Does anyone else have this trouble and am I being fobbed off?!

I've got a ZR160 and although, admittedly, I don't drive it hard, the tyres are as good as new. I've covered 5300 miles. Are you driving your car hard ? heavy on brakes roundabouts etc etc.. ?

There's gotta be something bad happening to those front tyres - do you go round corners on two wheels?

I don't think I'd be physically be able to wear out a pair of tyres in that mileage!
