Default Tyres only lasted 19k? 2013 V60 d4

Hi All,

So decided to change the fronts, the outside edges were quite worn down on both (underinflated?) and reasonably equal and the centre 3/4 was measured to circa 2.5/3mm.

So probably another couple of thousand miles left, it worked out to be around 18.5k miles since last change (21/07/2020) (thank Covid for the tiny milage!). Usual commute is 30/40mph roads and others are usually primarily Motorway miles.

So as this is the 1st proper change in this cars ownership, is this what others see? The tyres are 'autogreen' branded from national tyres, so not expecting them to be premium quality and probably slightly less tread depth(to add to the quicker replacement) and also the volvo does seem to be quite a front heavy car which will add to the wear.

I have had no issues with the previous tyre and even when it was heavy snow the car performed faultlessly, so no concerns reccomending them as a functional tyre, and 2x will cost less (currently with the 10% discount code) than 1 'premium'. Its a 160hp diesel estate so not a fire breathing sports Coupe!
