Tyre Life

Recently changed the OEM front tyres (Bridgestones) on the MG4 at 36,505.

I think that's pretty good for a BEV.

What do folk think?

Seems good on any car to me. Don’t think I’ve ever had 30,000 out of a tyre.

At that sort of mileage, I'd be inclined to replace the tyres with exactly the same make.
I notice on the Kwik Fit website, some tyres are recommended for EV's and Hybrids, but some aren't. Whether that is relevant I can't say.

Is it a four wheel drive one? I get about 35,000 out of a pair of front tyres on mine, but of course, they're not driven wheels.

No, RWD Trophy LR.

So it's about par for the course then.

Often the EV-specific" tyres are to do with noise reduction as much as anything. Some of them have foam liners inside the carcass to absorb noise.

What do you get out of a pair of rears? Mine are obviously doing all the regen braking as well as all the traction, so they do well to last 20,000.

I think from memory, it was 21,500.

We didn't have a choice, it's a lease car.

I should say was. It's gone back now.
