Tyre Wear

[Guest m mccormick]

I have a C4 Grand Picasso, 6 months old, 17000miles only. I drive carefully not hard, found my tyres have worn evenly but are at 2 to 2.5mm tread left. Has anyone had the same problem?

I know this link is for the C4 but it may give you a guide.

I bought mine with 14,000 on the clock, and only got 6,000 more out of the front tyres, but the backs, at 29, 000 miles look about half used. Of course I have no idea how hard it was driven in the first 14K

 

Mine's a diesel though and as I understand it, they can be a bit heavier on front tyres, as the extra weight of the engine doesn't do them any favours on corners.

Thank you for your reply mine is a 1600 diesel and my driving is 50% on motorways. I do not drive hard though i do drive fast.
