I reckon I will get 20k+ out of the fronts.
Think you're doing well then. Altough I can't truely comment on 'Civic' wear being an Accord driver but I was talking to the Bridgestone Rep the other day who drives a Civic and he estimated his tyres last 10-12k on the front. I daren't ask him if he has tried another brand!!!!

I think my problem is the clutch work to get a fast getway really get's the tourque to the wheels and as VSA's traction control has limitations then there's a lot of tyre slip. Have taken it's easier on this set and I have about 4.5 remaining with 3k to go to the service. If they make it then that will be over 15k since the last change.
