Just been to the dealer for fuel tank check and all 4 tyres measured at 6mm = 31% worn. Hybrid Excel 5000 miles 70% motorway , no wheel spinning. Anyone done over 15000 miles yet?

 

[ans]

most front wheel drive cars that i have had would be lucky to get 10 000 miles out of them so thats not bad imo

My last 3 C4 Picasso's did more than 35,000 and still legal after 3 years, front wheel drive diesel.

 

[DutCHR]

Do you have the Michelin Primacy3 tires?

 

[Jimbo]

Yes ,from memory same tyres on C4

 

[DutCHR]

Have same tires but made not so many miles yet. Dont hope a C-HR eats tires!

 

[Iangrimmett]

Just had second service at 17000 miles, advised to get two new tyres for the front at around £180 each!
The tyre wearI think personally, is abysmal for just ordinary sensible driving when compared with other Toyotas I have owned.

 

[Anixie]

Volvo V4, 190 BHP, fr4ont wheel drive, 20K miles on a set
Toyota GT86, 30K !! miles and even the rears are still fine.
Don't tell me the C-HR is going to need a new set every 15... Doesnt make sense

Would think front tyre wear would be high as lot of weight on the front axle i imagine with the hybrid drive unit. Probably worth rotating the wheels front to rear annually?

 

[DutCHR]

Rotating every season or year will make all tires wear evenly.. in my opinion a good choice. But at the end you have to replace all 4 tires once..

I changed my front tyres on 26,650 miles, pleased with that, I don't rotate my tyres, mainly because if you don't it staggers the cost.

Hi.
That mileage you quote is more towards what I would have expected.
What tyres was it that gave you that, make, size, model as I would be very interested.
Additionally, what make, model, size did you replace them with.
If anybody else has any thoughts or information re tyre wear at 17000 miles, etc., I would be pleased to hear from you.
Regards.

What tyres was it that gave you that, make, size, model as I would be very interested.

They were 18" Michelin Primacy 3, I replaced them with the same which I sourced from Germany. they were Demos and cost £86 each

For anyone that doesn't know the web site says "a demo tyre is a tyre that has been fitted and dismounted and that has driven for a few miles at most. In most cases they were used for
Automobile fairs
Quality tests by the manufacturer
Mounted on a vehicle during train/truck trip
Demo tyres benefit from the same manufacturing guarantee, as new tyres. The depth of the tread is at least 99% of the new tread .
Demo tyres are just as good as new tyre, except they are sometimes 10% cheaper than freshly minted tyres."

When they arrived they were as new, still with the feathering on the tread

Im Just over 31k on original set from delivery. 2.5mm left on fronts and 4.5mm on rears.

 

[Iangrimmett]

Hi.
Can you confirm the make, model, size of the tyres that you have fitted please.
