Just wondering how iong these can last ? 5000km more?? Also wanna know if they handle ok in the wet and does it need a lot of warming up before it gets grip?

Haven't used mine yet..

I got quoted 30,000km with a couple of track days when i bought them - but i think it'll be more like 10-15,000 tops...

They will grip better in the wet than just about any tire you've tried as they are basically road legal wet slicks..

Warm up time unsure - but i think from cold there would be more grip than say a set of Bridgies or Falkens easy

i was quoted 210 per tyre for 12" x 55 x 165's to memory

from bob janes . they said 15000 klms driving hard .

30,000kms

Maybe with a stock auto 998 and a grandma driving!

I've been using them for about a year now.
They are good,but if using for hard driving they do need to be warm.
Drove in a road event last weekend.Practice was in the wet,they gripped okay,but still sliding across the road until they gripped In the dry they hang on,and it just depends how hard and brave you are with late braking!

A bit off topic but does anyone know how the A032-R's go in 165/70R10?

Would they be pretty much the same? Would I get 10,000k's out of them of normal driving?

Those A048's get more milage than what I thought!

I agree - i was a bit skeptical when he said 30k - I would be very happy with 15k

LS1380 - How many k's have you done in that year?

I bought mine for $220ea 175/50R13
