My Pirelli P6 are now gone and good riddance. They lasted a whole 55,000 km and were below legal limit on tread. I have replaced them with the Goodyear Assurance. As earlier posts state, not much choice in 225/60/18. Goodyear was not my first choice. I tried to find a Michelin Primacy but no luck. I had to put something on before it rained again (serious). This vehicle is leased and it is the third time I have leased but only the first time I have had to replace tires before the lease expired. I am not so happy. I have much higher expectations of tires than 55,000 km. Is this all we should expect from OEM tires? |

Replying to: freealfas (Jun 01, 2007 11:14 am) My 99Volvo at 166,000 km. Ran summer (V rated Michelins) and winter (Gislaveds) to 130,000km, replaced the summer then but still running the same winter (they will be retired this winter). Ran my 01 Sabb to 95,000km (V rated Michelins) and sold the car with considerable tread remaining (also ran winter Pilots for about 1/3 of that mileage). Ran my 99Isuzu to 75,000km and turned it back in at lease end with no tire penalties. So, it is just my experience that 55,000km is low.

Replying to: stmss (Jun 01, 2007 12:30 pm) I see 25k-35k miles as just about right for wear and a compromsise between life and performance. I do the winter switch as well on my wifes car for the commute so with the 2 sets you are stretching your investment out...

Replying to: goracegirl51 (Jun 12, 2007 10:57 am) Is the dealer (or tire shop) diagnosing any specific wear patterns that would indicate something wrong with the truck (eg, alignment as suggested?) Or are they getting unusual service - road condition, temperature? I know it can't be from doing brake stands or burning rubber at the stop light

I'm still on my original Continental tires on my 2005 SE FWD with 45,000 miles. I'm also actually on the original wiper blades too, but I use those wipes on the windshield so the water rolls right off when you're driving, so I don't use the wipers very often. What sort of wear did you have at 11K and then 13K miles on your tires that required replacement? Was it even wear, one side, etc?
