Tyre wear

[CardinalZeus77]

What sort of mileage are you getting on your tyres?

I am not too impressed with my tyre wear.

30K miles in and rears are 3mm each but what's worse is that half that time I have been on winters so in effect 15K miles and the tyres are almost worn

Hello Hitman, glad to see you are still around!! You probably don't remember me?
I've just checked my rears, do not have any gauges, but I estimated I have approx 6mm left after 14000miles, again I reckoned probably a few thousand of those miles were from winter tyres.

Hi ... yes still around ... sorry I don't remember ... the memory is getting pretty bad in my old age! You are doing better than me on the tyres. Your car have Continentals?

LOL I dont blame you, I only remember when I look thru my messages, we were talking about winter tyres.
Yes mine came with Continental.

I think you must be making full use of your torque frequently!

Oh yes I remember now .
The Conti's seem to wear more quickly. I had Pilot Sports on my BMW and those lasted nearly 40k!

I'm coming up 20,000 miles from new on the Conti's but I think the rears will need changing at the end of summer.

That's not bad going. I think rhe Conti's are a softer compound.

My rear tyres have done 30k miles and still 3mm left on them, the fronts were changed at 24k miles, but I have a B Class front wheel drive

 

[Deadhead]

Just replaced the rears on my S211 E220 for the second time at 76,000 miles. The first set lasted 30k and the second 46k. The fronts were replaced at 48k and still have plenty left.

The car came with Michelin Primacies from new and that's what I've replaced them with each time.

Very happy with the mileage. Of course, now that I'm not as young as I was, I drive like a granny.

No point in having the power if you don't use it

Agreed
Rear tyres on my C63 lasted 8,000 miles and the first 1,000 was running in!

That'll be new rears every year then

I am looking at lease deals on the C63 507. I'll need to factor in the tyres. You on 18" or 19s?

Tyres and fuel . Funnily enough the two seem to go together . Mine was on 19s and I got between 6-8k from them

Lol yeh fuel ... it has a drink problem . How many miles you getting from a tank? Do you put in premium fuel or regular?

Around 200 to a tank is the painful part. I had a 330d BMW before and could go to my parents and back on one tank but the C63 couldn't even get there with out a pit stop. It's supposed to run on Premium but didn't seem to make a difference to me.

I had a V8 M3 before the current C Class and I could get around 300 to a tank driving conservatively but spirited driving would result in 150 miles per tank. Still to be expected with a big V8 . I used to put in the V power but to be honest I couldn't notice the difference so reverted to Regular.
