that reflects my experience, I bought mine in January, I noticed that the tyres were about half worn although I didnt measure, 13k miles later and there is 3mm+ on each corner. The outer edges of the fronts will go before the main tread area but I may replace them all before Xmas/snow time First time FFRR owner |

I'd expect at least 40000 miles. My trade-in last year had 56000 miles on them. Admittedly, they were getting close to the line but I was danged if I was going to spend £1000 so close to trade-in. |

I've had various LR's, always run Pirelli road or AT's and have got around 30k out of them down to 3.5mm, which is my change point. Invariably cheaper tyres have less tread depth to start with (6.5mm is the lowest I've seen on Indonesian ditch-finders) and have a less resilient compound. Manufacturer specific tyres are tuned for NVH and can have different compounds across the tyre width as well as (for example) different sidewall rigidity inner to outer so will wear differently compared to 'generic' tyres, even from the same manufacturer, it's also worth noting that tyres fitted at build will have more tread depth than those sold as direct replacements, like for like. |

Also reflects my experience with Range Rovers over the last 15 years. I always thought it was down to the way I drove (or the way the FFRR encourages me to drive) more than the car itself, but perhaps there's more to it than that. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB |

Yes, I would never not fit the original specified tyres and never have done. For a large 4x4 I think this rate of wear is possibly unrivalled? |

There is going to be less slippage with a heavier car, maybe that helps? Of course, cornering will always be the point where most of the wear occurs as you're effectively fighting physics but that applies to all vehicles, being permanent four wheel drive will also spread the wear more evenly, some 2wd cars I see will get through three pairs of driven tyres to a pair on non-driven ones, front or rear driven axle, it makes little difference. |
