I have now had my ST for a year and took it in for its 2nd scheduled service (after 11,500 miles).
After £150 pounds had exchanged hands, I got the report back on the car.
Front and Rear pads are 10% worn. Tyres have 5mm left evenly on the front and 6mm left evenly on the back.
GEM module was re-programmed at request, as alarm would scream and shout whenever it felt liked it but everything else was fine!
Must say, I am quite suprised and happy that the pads are wearing slowly and that I still have plenty of tread on the tyres after almost 12,000 miles.

Damn can't believe you have so much tread on your tyres! My front were gone at under 9000 miles and the back have 5mm left evenly.

All 4?!?

How did you manage to get the tyres to wear down evenly by 11k?

Don't say that!! I like to think that I do a good balance of driving in my ST and though I do enjoy some quick acceleration, don't abuse the power underneath my right foot (much!!)
