These are OEM Pirelli P-zero all season....

Rears are at 28k(36k corrected) miles and still seem to have a fair number remaining.

I have 1.5 more months until the snow tires go on. We will see what they look like then, but I might get a few miles out of them in the spring. These tires seem to last forever.

Apparently my 1.5 month estimate was optimistic. I made it almost 4 weeks before this tire failed and lost pressure on the highway. My math in the last post was off as the tire had 36k miles on it then and 39k miles yesterday when it failed. Fronts are at 63k miles.

Photos of the carnage attached.

If anything they seem consistent.

The first set was corded at 38k miles but hadn't lost pressure. Second set was corded and lost pressure at 39k miles.

I'll probably buy the newest version of them as their replacements since nothing else seems to offer anywhere near their lifespan.

Just got my 1st "tire wear" notice for both rear tires in the car & app.

2022 M50 w/ almost 24k miles driven very tamely. Pirelli 245/40 R19 XL front & back (i.e., no stagger).

Plan to get local dealer to check depth and quote a price to replace. Will price match them to Costco (looks like $282 per tire less $60 if you buy 4 for Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 40) and see what happens.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

21,000 miles on the front tires this time around. I would have changed them earlier, but we’ve been having an extremely dry winter in SoCal this year. As you can see by the outside wear, I love going fast in the curves. Rotating out of tight curves with the RWD never gets old and always puts a smile on my face. With my first pair of tires I swapped all 4 out at 17,000 miles. I’ve been driving sportier since then and hit the wear bars on my rear tires at about 10,000 miles. So it’s replace the rear tires and the next time replace all 4 and repeat.😎

Check for the Conti DWS 06s. You do compromise vs the summers but I’m running this tire year round and have been very happy. It’s a good all rounder, with an emphasis on decent snow performance

My 2023 i4 e35 has 96,000 miles. I have been using my car driving for Uber, which is caused me to put a lot of miles on my car. The only maintenance that I’ve had to do on this car since I got it has been replacement of tires. Originally the car was fitted with Kuhmo Tires and the first set of rears did not last 10,000 miles after I replaced them with a set of Pilot Sport 4*. Each set of Michelins lasted less than 15,000 miles and cost about $1300 for 4 tires.
So when my car had 68,000 miles on it, was researching other brands. I came across a Brand called Lexani. I purchased a set from a company called Simple Tire and had them shipped to Ramona Tire in Mission Viejo for install. My car uses 19”. 245 40 19 on the front and 255 40 19 on the rear. The tire I used was the Lexani LX – Twenty. The cost for four tires including delivery was $537.18. Installation cost me $20 per tire at Ramona Tire. The costs of the tires also included a road hazard warranty. As of this post I have driven 28,000 miles on these Lexani LX-Twenty tires I still have enough tread left for another 15,000 miles of use. My front tires have 8/32 of tread remaining, and my rears have 6/32 remaining. These tire are absolutely amazing. My electric consumption did not change any thing dramatic and road noise is pretty much the same as Michelins. I don’t think I will ever go back to using the main expensive brands.

Anyone has any experience with fitting the Continental Sportcontact 7 on his I4?
I'm on the 20 inch F255/ R285.

Not liking the Pirelli P-Zero all that much..

I recently replaced my Hankook Ventus S1s at 15,900 miles. Probably had another 1,500 miles on them but I hit something on the road that destroyed my front right (and bent the wheel as well) so was a bit early with replacements.

I've always run Pilot Sport 4s's on my M5 so that was what I had planned to switch to since the car was new. I've tried a few others but nothing compared to the cornering of the PSS 4s's and the change on my if M50 was noticeable when I switched out the Hankooks.

I only wish I read @cruzer666 s post below relating to rolling resistance beforehand because I can attest that the 4s's decimated my range. I averaged 3.4mi/kWh on my commute in moderate traffic and that plummeted to 2.7mi/kWh. I always drive fast and generally accelerate pretty hard so that 3.4 could have been better had I been a little gentler right foot. When I really tried to improve it on the PSS 4s's and drive as if I had my mom in the car with me, the best I could get was 2.9 - 3.0. Eco-pro mode didn't really impact the mileage.

So just a quick update on Pilot Sport 4S mileage. After around 7,000 miles, my average mileage modestly ticked up to around 3.0 - 3.1 mi/kWh. The ride is a bit harder so I am guessing that the softest part of the tire compound has worn down a bit. I have plenty of tread and it still corners much better than the original Hankooks but I doubt I will get more than 12,000 - 14,000 miles out of this set of tires.

At my 2-year service yesterday:

Driver front: 5.5
Passenger front: 5.0
Driver rear: 5.0
Passenger rear: 4.5

21,500 miles on original Pirelli A/S.

Find it kind of odd that the driver front and passenger rear are the odd ducks. Anyone smarter than me have an explanation?

Planning on these lasting until spring (knocks on wood) and then I’ll have to decide if I want A/S again (because Oregon rain) or switch to summers.

What were those, mm?

My experience mimics yours exactly. Went from the OEM 19" Hankooks to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, efficiency dropped to exactly what you shared, and then increased to about 3.0 mi/kWh after a lot miles. The 19" PS4S lasted me about 14K miles (rears were 3/32"), which was nearly identical to the mileage I got from the Hankooks. I just swapped to 20" wheels with PS4S and am now back down to 2.7 mi/kWh (~250 miles on the new set of tires), outside temperature has been between 45-55F for awhile (occasionally to 60F)

Glad to know I am not an outlier. Same mileage with 20" wheels is interesting. I would have expected a little worse.

Depends on contact patch. If they used the 20” wheels with the tires of the same width of the tires on the 19” wheels, efficiency wouldn’t change. 245/255 R19 or R20 have almost the same efficiency.

Newly mounted Continental SportContact 7

i4 model - M50 (255/35/20 & 285/30/20)
Tire miles - 220 mi (355 km)
Tire noise - About the same as the Pirelli P-Zero PZ4
Tire performance - The highlight of this tyre, way more convincing than the Pirelli's.
Tire wear - Just fitted them, can't say.
Additional thoughts - This tyre really makes this heavy car way more precise at corner entry, mid-corner grip is also a bit better and keeps this car firm at the projected line. Breaking performance feels somewhat the same as the Pirelli's. On the limit the car is predictable but in the end you can't hide the weight when sliding around ;-)

I would prefer it over the Pirelli's but only when you are looking for a tyre that feels convincing when driving spirited like I do. If it's pure comfort you are looking for, then the Pirelli's will do just fine.

You went from PZ4 to which tire? Small detail

Totally forget to mention the one thing that made my post worth posting at all ;-)

 

[Mz3boy]

i4 model - 2023 i4 e40 with Bridgestone Turanza 225/50r18
Tire miles - 7500
Tire noise - quiet
Tire performance - great
Tire wear - way too fast!!!
Additional thoughts - Can someone help me understand how the heck I went through a set of tires after 7500 miles???? Am I driving that aggressively?? This seems insane.

did you rotate them?

 

[Mz3boy]

Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season. Rear are at 3/32 at 12,500 lousy stinking miles. And they won't honor the 25K tread warranty because the other tire is at 4/32. A whole 1/32 means uneven wear. I'm done with them. If I'm going to replace tires every 13K miles, I'm not buying $350 tires. I have to wonder if it has to do with the roads around here. Many have oil and chip on them which makes it a much rougher drive and I would imagine chews up the tires more than a smooth road, but I'm not sure. I certainly do not drive spirited and I'm super disappointed in these tires. I got more out of my oem summer tires.

Goodyear gave me $80 back for mine. I bought Pirelli PZero AS +3

 

[Mz3boy]

Just thought I’d share these pics of both rear tyres! Both completely shredded on the inside edge!

The mobile repair guy said to have the tracking checked. Is this common with EVs because of the additional weight or could it just be the tracking?

You can understand why I thought there was a lot of tread left on the tyres! Visually they looked ok from the exterior - I’d have had to really climb under the car to see the rear inside edges!

…once it goes, it tears around the whole tyre! Glad the pressure warning lights made me stop! There was me thinking I just had a nail in the tyre!!

I’ve replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 5s.

That looks like a serious tire failure, as the wear looks good/even across the entire width. What was their explanation?

 

[Mz3boy]

Ten days ago, I replaced all four OE 19” Goodyear Eagle AS tires with Perelli P Zero AS +3 tires on my i4 M50 (after 28k miles). Prior to replacing the tires, I was getting range of 3.8 kWh per mile. Since replacing the tires, I’m getting 2.7 kWh per mile. The only things that have happened in the last 10 days are (1) scheduled service appointment where they replaced the cabin filter and checked the brakes, and (2) the tires. Does this sound right? Will the miles/kWh normalize after the tires are more broken in? Seems like a crazy drop in range for new tires that are the same size and are also all-season.

tire pressure is the same?

 

[Fantastic i4]

Newly mounted Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus 3 that replaced the OEM Pirelli P Zero All Seasons that lasted ~29K miles. Rears wore more quickly than the fronts with specifically more wear on the inside rear tires.

i4 model - M50 (245/40/19 & 255/40/19)
Tire miles - 200 mi (355 km)
Tire noise - About the same as the Pirelli P-Zero AS
Tire performance - I'm a big fan of Pirellis, have had them on multiple cars.
Tire wear - Just fitted them, can't say. New Pirellis have updated compound & a higher UTQG rating vs. the OEM PZero AS.
Additional thoughts - I also considered the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, which has better winter performance per the updated Tire Rack comparison video at a similar price point to the Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3.
