The guy behind the Service desk at Sunbury Ford said that <20,000km out of OEM fronts was 'normal as they're super-sticky'.

You've met me, I'm a 55yo grandfather, if you're going to try and **** me at least make it half-believable...or get up earlier in the morning.

...replaced all four with KU39s. If your dad wants 2x virtually unmolested Potenzas (i.e. the rears) drop me a PM
Due to tyre rotations/torque vectoring/pot holes I've been left with one OEM Potenza after 6 years and just over 100K kms (but it's going to tyre heaven very soon)

Mostly freeway Kms early on, so tyres/brakes lasted forever. But once you live somewhere twisty you start to churn through them pretty quick!

Also went the KU39s which work quite well with the cheeky little ST.
