Model Y tyres

[Danny_F]

The time is soon coming to change tyres, if I am lucky I will be getting 12000 miles from the OEM Hankook’s.
Has anyone changed and to what? I don’t mind swapping brands as long as they are suitable and hopefully last longer than 12k.

I’ve still got 4.5mm on my stock Model Y LR 19” Hankooks with 17,646 miles on them. I’m going to be looking to eke out the summer and go to all seasons when I change.

I thought I was going to have to change at least one of mine after less than 7k miles due to a puncture last week, but fortunately my local tyre shop was able to repair it. Still plenty of tread so fingers crossed for plenty more miles.

I was thinking about the cross climates but not sure what mileage people are getting from them?

I have just had my MOT (4yr old) on my M3 sr and the set of types I have on still have 5mm tread on them and have covered 35k miles!

The oem Michelin covered 30k before i needed to change them.

Worth a look.

Ps I don't drive stupidly. And mainly motorway and duel carriageways.

Pirelli P-zeros on my M3P. 26k miles and still going strong (with a 4 month swap out for winters last season)

CC2 is an overwhelming favorite. It what I will use.

The alloys stick out a lot with the CC2s

Disappointing news. I sure read and see a lot of folks using them. Is there a particular rim diameter this is an issue for?

Try the Pirelli Scorpion SF2 - better than CC2 spec wise and fit the 19" rim better. I've put 19s on my MYP and all good.

What’s the ride/noise like compared to the stock Hankook’s?

Not Hankooks on the MYP so sorry, can't really say. The all seasons will typically be a little bit noisier than the OEM summer tyres but not really an issue for me. The 19s are much more practical than the 21" OEMs I find and I don't panic every time I hit a dodgy road surface.

Has anyone tried the Michelin Pilot Sport 5? I'm worried about 2 things:

1. They're rated for cars, not SUVs
2. How much will the alloys protrude

EDIT: I see that the Michelin Pilot EV is now available in 255/45/19 104W XL - https://www.tyrelabelling.eu/EU/2020-740/en/251261_fcs_en.pdf & MICHELIN PILOT SPORT EV ACOUSTIC T0 255/45 R19 104W | ATS Euromaster

Michelin reps have suggested ice tires, within reason, are fine

tire size pretty much defines bulge. Tread width can vary. 255 would offer 5mm more rash protection, less than 1/4”. Prolly not enough.
