When I got my Multiair Lounge it had about 14,000 miles on it. Fronts were down to about 4mm, rears just over 6, so I swapped them and expect to replace all 4 at around 25-30,000 miles.
Alan, I'd expect the fronts on yours, with the heavier diesel engine, to wear more quickly than mine, which they have done.
Mine has Goodyear Eagle F1s, 225/45 R18s. Our other car has Michelin Cross-Climates, which have really good reviews for cold weather grip, noise, ride quality and wear. When I last checked, they didn't do the size to fit my Fiat, here's hoping they do by replacement time.
A cautionary note if anyone has the 4WD variant. Many modern 4WD systems can be damaged by having a disparity of circumference between front and rear. Apparently more than a couple of mm tread difference front to rear is bad news.
I've had Contis on several cars as original fit. Good tyres, but I've always found they wear more quickly than other premium brands.

It's usually whatever the factory batch of that size is at the time. MJ's I've seen were mainly Michelin, but as long as the size and rating are correct it really is just personal choice and budget.Can anyone tell me what the OE fit Tyres were on a 1.6 MJ Cross Plus? I've seen MJ's new on Bridgestones but MA's new on Michelins even though its the same wheel?
I am in the process of buying a 500 X AWD 2.0 Cross Plus MJ second hand 2016 plate, front tyres down to last 2-3 mm, I usually change at 3mm!
I notice on here that somebody mentioned that you shouldn’t have a big disparity in mm between front and rears?!
Question is do I replace all four or get dealer to pay for front, I pay for the rears?!?
I was looking at Michelin Cross-climates+ but ouch at @ £150-00 a quarter!!
Has anyone had issues feedback with these!
Also looking at Verdestien Quatrack 5, cheaper but more of a traditional all season tyre?!?
Any thoughts anyone??
Thanks
Hmmm I guess it would be an idea to rotate tyres front to back and therefore even out wear!?!

Have you tried the Michelin Cross Climates +???
I have the same model. My rears are on 28k and still 5mm or more left. I'm on the second set of fronts, the first lasted about 15-17k. Not a simple situation
