Vote with your feet then! Same exact tyre (I've not checked if that's the correct size: I just plugged that into BlackCircles) is £230.03 fitted at my location. Still a lot of money but £80 a corner is a big saving.I am looking in KwitFit and I believe this is for Model Y LR R19?
And it is more expensive than a Michelin??

I had a puncture and needed one in a hurry so skipped blackcircles for a local independence garage who could do next day. That was £250 in January. QuickFit are a rip-off

You should be able to manage 20 to 25K out of a set of tyres - unless you’re ragging it everywhere.
Admittedly I prefer to run either Mich and Pirelli rubber on cars. P’s are somewhat softer compound wise so wear a bit faster.

Mich Pilot sport 4 lasted 13K on the rear of my M3 LR. I was not thrashing it but I was doing a lot of highspeed ( as in 60mph) A road driving. Fronts lasted to about 22K
kelvin 660
White SR+ with LFP battery
I'm at 18,000 miles in my SR+ and fronts are at ~5mm, so they could last till 50K miles and rear are at ~3mm, so they could last till 24K miles. I will replace them with PS4 when required as they seem to perform well. I've never rotated tyres in the past and probably won't do in the future...
Not according to Michelin, and their tyres:

Good luck with that...lol
I have never once experienced anyone got close to 25k miles even with rotation.
Cars that I've seen without aggressive driving cannot get to 25k miles on any tires.
Cars I owned:
Tesla Model S
Tesla Model X
Chevy Volt Gen 1 (note: slower acceleration)
Chevy Volt Gen 2 (note: slower acceleration)
Even near that 25k miles, the corner of the tires is so worn down that you'll start seeing the inner tire wall near the edges. It's so bad.
I've got a 2020 M3 Long Range... 30K miles currently, lots of those miles on motorways at sane speeds. Wife insists on Chill Mode around town ;-)Good luck with that...lol

I switch to winters as required but relatively few miles done during cold weather. Never rotated.
I've replaced two tyres - due to bad bad bad front alignment after MPP lift kit fitted - clearly not the car's fault.
Still enough wear left on all corners for this summer's migration to Spain and back .
PS My Honda S2000 could almost get 8000 miles on a set... loved that car

Useful info. Though I don't jump to change tyres immediately on reaching 3mm I certainly pay more attention to wet handling and braking after that point. If I feel there's a loss of grip I'm ready to make the change early and certainly don't necessarily expect to go all the way to the legal limit. Here's a 1.6mm Vs 3mm wet braking test. If you've ever had an aquaplaning incident on a motorway it certainly focusses the attention on tread depth! (Dry braking isn't an issue down to the legal limit on most tyres.)
