15,000 to 20,000 miles. Gosh, mine last around 40,000 miles every time.
Years ago tyres on the original VW Beetle could last 40,000 to 60,000 miles. And I knew of two friends who got 80,000 miles . One came along later claiming 100,000 miles. Professors at Nottingham Universityclaimed a fully plastic tyre could be made to last 1M miles but offer little grip.
Ok tyre compounds and treads have improved to give us better grip against life, but it shows we haven't got very far overall.
Perhaps graphene IS the way forward.
