Technical Doblo Tyres

[seanhyde12]

Hi It would be really helpful if as many people as possible could share their tyre experiences here. The more I read the more I think front tyre wear on Doblos is a problem?
I fitted a new set of Avon ZT5's last year as soon as I purchased the vehicle.I chose these as they seemed a reasonable price and came out with a C C rating on the new Euro labels. This was higher than most of the more expensive tyres listed . I've driven 14,000 miles in 12 months. I drive like captain slow ( 60/65) on long trips to save fuel.
Front tyres are completely worn. Back tyres look good for another year or more.
Can other's share their experiences?
Should I buy commercial tyres? would they last longer ?

Sean, I think you need to get the front wheel alignment checked. Mrs_G's 2004 Doblo Cargo gets many more miles than that out of a set of front tyres and the rears go on for 70,000+ no problem.

im always getting the tracking done on my dobbie due to the state of the **** UK roads.

just managed to squeeze 12,000 miles out of my front tyres which wear quite badly on the inner 25% !

i have read so many opinions on here ref how many miles is normal for doblo front tyres.

they were a budget set and car type not van type.

plus it seems to sit with abit of negative camber on the front aswell.

it this normal ?

i have owned the car for about 8 years now and done about 36,000 miles and this will be the 3rd set of tyres.

forgot to say its a 57 plate 120bhp version with 185 width 15inch diameter tyres.

maybe the tyres Fiat spec for the car are too small/narrow ?
