Guys could this be the case with all Eagle F1's? Or is it just with the D3's??
|
Karthiks - Only the D3s. My Lancers 1st gen Eagle F1s lasted more than 30,000 kms.

ESPECIALLY since your car seems to be doing more than 50% of its travelling at rush hour in the city right?
|
Yup. More like 70%

It makes sense that theres a drop in grip levels if the tread is almost gone, but if it is not, that is very strange.
|
Tread depth is okay and far from blading. Buttttttttttttttttt the rubber is considerably harder than before. MUCH harder.

Just a thought, your suspension might have now bedded in and the bushes now have more compliance

Absolutely but not for such a significant difference. You have to drive her to know what I am talking about.

When was the last time you rotated the tyres GTO?

About the 5,000 km mark.

They are pretty burnt out now but i can safely say they were great for 35k. (Obviously not in the same league at the D3s, but just a small step below).

Exactly my point. I have owned most brands of tyres and they have always given me a good life span. Not necessarily were the grip levels even close to the "new" D3s but they were very close. Atleast they offered me 90% of the D3s grip levels for 400% of the life and at 50% of the cost.
BTW I called an Octavia friend of mine with D3s. Same problem. His tyres gave up at 11,000 kms.
