How long can our stock tyres 17" last?

[Guest Icez]

Waiting to change

[Guest nightfly]

Depending on which stock tyres you have - different models have different wear characteristics. Also depending on how you keep them properly inflated, driving style, road conditions, etc.

From experience, CSC3 lasted me about 40-45k.Current ride is on stock Yokohama Advans which I believe have a faster wear rate so I reckon 30k.

[Guest Odessus]

Agree. My Potenzas also last around 40K.

Rubber compound tends to harden over time so make sure to do spot checks esp if tyres have been mounted for over 2 years. Maintaining the correct pressure will ensure tyre wear is minimal.

U are very rite!

Tyres hardened over time esp. after 2 years.

2 times I experienced tyre exploded for my Prado due to hardened rubber.

Both time lucky, I managed to pull safely to the side of the road.

^^ kum sia lu.

recently I saw a friend's ride with 4 year old tyres. I almost peng san. rubber from black going grey. great for drift feeling and candidate for explosive action!

Just changed my tyres recently for my 2006 W203 C180ML Sports edition... The previous tyres were around 2009/2010 (I think )..

Due to the "staggered" wheel arrangement for the Sports model, I now have Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 in the front (225/45/R17) and Pirelli P Zero Rosso MO (MO stands for Mercedes spec version) at the rear (245/40/R17)... It's was quite tough to find the rear 17" tyres...

Really can feel the difference between FRESH tires and "hardened" tires...

I really advise all bros and sisters to change their tyres before they harden... not just for comfort, but most importantly... due to SAFETY...

Haha.. yes bro! Also changed my front shock absorbers and new brake rotors and brake pads... car feels NEW!! Got the Bilstein B4 from Tye Soon in the end.. haha..

When the tyres are 'hot', i.e. after driving around for sometime before hitting the Petrol Kiosk, need to add +4psi to the recommended tyres pressure as recommended.

Not advisable to mix different tires if you are an aggressive driver.

Have being using Yokohama Advan Sport for coming 2yrs.Wear rate pretty good.Already driven coming 35K km on it.Think will only be changing when reached 40Kkm.

[goswimbikerun]

I was using PS3 previously on my staggered C200ML as well. Got around 45k mileage on the rear 245/45/R17. The front ones are still alive beyond 45k. Could be due to the rear wheel drive setup of the car that the rears wear faster.
