Tyres worn at 22k (Michelin Prim 3)
Is it normal from front tyres to be worn out after 22k miles? This feels very low. I inflate my tires to eco setting (38) and mostly drive on the motorway. The tyres were Michelin Prim 3, now replaced with Prim 4.

i have a V40 T2 with Michelin Energy tyres. Front tyre recently replaced after a puncture and 4mm tread left after about 25,000 miles. Original front Michelins replaced at 25,000 miles with about 3.5mm tread. Car is still on original rear Michelins at 51,000 miles. I use the standard tyre pressure of 33psi.

I always thought tires lasted 60k miles. I guess I am wrong. |

The "eco" pressure is nonsense - 38psi is way too high i feel for a 225/45 tyre. I run mine at 32 all round!

Don't you only need to run the tyres at 38psi if its loaded, like with a full boot & passengers?
There's no point running 38psi just toddling around yourself with no weight in the vehicle as such, apart from what's in the fuel tank & your own weight... Correct? |
Volvo quotes the higher 'eco' figure and has done for a while.
