VW Tiguan Mk2 2017 2 new front tyres Pirelli Scorpion Verde (255/40 R20 101V) SI XL 71CB , estimated 33,000 miles tyre life

 

VW Tiguan Mk2 2017 running the RLine 20 inch alloys

Tyres replaced at our house, using Halfords TyresOnTheDrive
replaced because the outer edges had worn to no tread and rest was limited to 2mm

I tend to run the front tyres at a high pressure to attempt to even out the wear (>40psi) otherwise the edges just wear too much.
tracking could be checked but I think this is normal


Pirelli Scorpion Verde (255/40 R20 101V) SI XL 71CB


2 tyres were £437 (inc 15% discount in June)


As far as I can tell , the tyres were fitted 

old set        Sept 2021 : 36,000 miles

replaced at June 2024 :  69,343 miles
new tyre has 8.5mm middle / 7.8mm edge tread depth

So thats 33,000 miles on the front tyres (the same make/model) !

Given the grip (both wet and dry) / cost and tyre life of these tyres they are superb, highly recommended
