Posts: 745 Thanks: 37 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | 500X Tyre Life - Typically I have 215 / 55 / 17 94V Continental EcoContact 5 tyres on all 4 wheels of my 500X. The rear tyres which have a made DOT of 26th week of 2016 have 5mm tread remaining. The front tyres have been changed by previous owner of which have a made DOT of 5th week 2019 have 7mm tread remaining. How long do the rear and front tyres normally last, ( if not swapping front to back vice versa annually ), prior to changing ??

It currently has 57k on the clock. Typically, without rotation, I get 15-20k from the fronts but more than 35k from the rears, they just seem to go on forever.

Posts: 65 Thanks: 3 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 500X Tyre Life - Typically My other half drives ours most of the time mainly a 19 mile round trip in mostly traffic to work and back, sometimes we do a longer trip at the weekend from London to Bristol, the rears last forever, we have the same tyres, I've only changed the rears as it had a nasty bolt go through one, that was at 31000 and I reckon there is still 4mm easy, the fronts are going to be changed before Winter and will probably do 35000 easy. I've just changed to premium contact which are a touch softer but not much,

Posts: 662 Thanks: 49 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 500X Tyre Life - Typically My 2016 AWD is on its original tyres at just under 25000 miles. The fronts will need replacing shortly, rear still have some life as they haven't been rotated regularly enough. As it's AWD I need to replace the whole set unfortunately
