Both have been exceptional thus far!

Superpro are based in Brisbane, I believe they are running behind in manufacturing at the moment...

Yes I’ve run the Goodyear F1A2’s previously and they were a very good tyre. High levels of performance for a street tyre and very good wear. I think I got 35,000km from the set from memory.

I’ve been told that the Superpro bits should be shipped out in a week or so.

That's good to hear Tiggy
I was hoping for 40-50k out of a set of tyres (I have the Verdes as well) but reading about people getting 25-30k on a set of tyres was getting me a but worried that the 20" tyres were an expense I hadn't considered before optioning the R-Line.
In the end, Covid has saved me a bunch on running costs so I don't feel so bad anymore, but it looks promising that 40-45k on a set is achieveable.

My Pirelli Scorpion Verde are 235/45R20 so not exactly same spec as on the Rline but I think you should be able to get similar mileage from them.

I know quite a few people with Continentals have only got 20-25k from a set. It’s just luck of the draw which get fitted to your car at the factory.

You're gonna like what the swaybar does to the handling of the car.

I can't recall, did you also get lowered springs put on earlier?

Yes I’ve got Eibach Prokit springs and that improved things but keen to get the sway bar fitted up to limit the body roll/reduce the under steer.
