Hey guys, I think I can put some of my 2 cents in here.
I've been driving since I was 14, and now I'm 26. I know nothing about tyre wear until I have to purchase my own set of tyres at 17 yrs old.
In New Zealand, I have used Bridgestone, BFGoodrich, TOYO, and Michelins. I have clock at least 50,000km on each set of these tyres in both regular driving and racing. Here are my findings.
1. Bridgestone. This set I have driven for around 100,000km on them and I rotate my tyres every 10,000km or after every race. I seldomly race with these because they produce poor traction at high speeds and the max speed rating I got from it is 180km/hr which I do get to all the time. As with the driving in the rain, it's a pretty average tyre. 5/10
2. BFGoodrich Macadams: Some of the best traction tyres for the old 4.1 RAV4 that I have known. I have near 60,000km on these now and I've raced around 500km on these tyres. The rear tyres still look decent even with the trashing I gave, but the front's are almost gone. I say with normal driving, these tyres would outlast the Bridgestones 10-15%. As with aquaplanning, they are not the best even though they are directional. I've tried 140km/hr on a puddle of water. Real shaky and floats. 8/10
TOYO: I made around 55,000km with these and the wear on these things are minimal. I raced around 300km with these on the track and the wear is also not bad, but it does take a lap or two to warm them up. Traction wise, better than that of the bridgestones, but not as good as the BFGs. As with driving in the rain. They are pretty good tyres for the rain. Even better than the BFGs. Cheap and long wear. 6/10
Michelins: My friend and I have made 70,000km on this set in total The wear has gone around 60%. Not bad consider that he does not trash his RAV4. Very easy driver. He does complain about road noise though. One thing that Michelin tyres are good at is weather. Man, I've tried to drive it around 120km/hr in the puddles and it handles pretty well. Great for the English people and country. Too bad they are not directional and not sure about the performance on high speed yet. 6/10
