I have a set of A048R's on my Rover Cooper with factory 12" alloys. Wondering if anyone can give me an idea of how many miles they have gotten with these. I TOTALLY understand it isnt a lot due to the compound but just what to hear from people that have run these.

 

The car only ran one AutoX event on these, and it only went 3 runs before the motor let go. Total, I have about 1500 miles on them. I have not rotated them (was planning at 2000). I had the cars alignment, camber, caster and toe done before they were uesed. Fully adjustable setup. With the 1500 miles, the rears look great (as ususal) and the front are toast. I drive the car aggressive on the twisties and the tread seems to be worse on the outsides and middle. Strangly the insides (even with the 1.5 degrees of camber) are in better shape??

 

I am calling the place that did the alighment on it (I pain enough for it) but wanted to get all the details straight first.

 

Thanks!

You need to swap front and rear wheels each 500 miles dude if you want to make them 'even'

They dont last long thou, from 2k to 4k miles depending on driving style, i know some people done 7k + on a set. Surely wasnt me driving..

500 miles. Good to know. I guess I was so excited about having it back on the road that I totally wasnt looking at them. Still, the wear is sucks that I think the alignment is certainly off.
