I am the owner of a 2017 C250 d AMG Line Saloon and I have seen that the rear tyres on my vehicle have a significantly reduced lifespan, lasting barely 4,000 km. The Pirelli Cint P7 tyre model. Is this considered a typical occurrence and are there other tyre options that may be more suitable?

[BENZE220AMG]

I would posit that almost any tyre would outperform the Pirelli in terms of quality. However, in response to your query, it is evident that the observed rate of tyre degradation is atypical.

The Goodyear F1 Assymetric line is widely regarded as possessing exceptional attributes in terms of dry and wet grip, comfort, and low noise levels, as affirmed by me and several others.

Is the tyre wear evenly distributed on both rear tyres? Additionally, does the vehicle have a tendency to rapidly increase its velocity from a state of rest? Contemporary diesel engines exhibit substantial torque output at low revolutions per minute (rpm). However, it is worth noting that my E Class vehicle surpasses the 250 CDi model in terms of both power and torque. Furthermore, the most recent pair of Goodyear tyres installed on the rear of my vehicle shown an impressive longevity, lasting approximately 25,000 miles.

Based on the analysis of the previous three data sets, I anticipate a minimum yield of 22,000 units from my mine. The vehicle was initially equipped with 19-inch run-flat Continental tyres from the manufacturer. These tyres were subsequently changed at mileages of 23,000 and 24,000 with the same brand and size, while still retaining almost 2 millimetres of remaining tread depth at the lowest position. After transitioning to the Goodyear F1 tyres, it has been observed that these tyres exhibit reduced noise levels and seem to perform well. However, due to the limited use of just 2,000 km, it is difficult to ascertain their long-term durability.

I am the owner of a 2017 C Class estate vehicle. The pace of deterioration is quite impressive.

[BENZE220AMG]

However, your driving style resembles that of Miss Daisy.

[motorman3]

Or the chauffeur of Miss Daisy...

[BENZE220AMG]

The argument you have raised is properly articulated and deserving of acknowledgement.

[WanderlustGuru]

Indeed. I am of advanced age, as you may be aware. Ancient.

Could you perhaps clarify whether by "only lasting" you are referring to a residual thread depth of 3mm or less throughout the tyre, including all sides and the centre? Do you consistently monitor the tyre pressures to verify that they fall within the range advised by the manufacturer, as shown by the label located within the fuel flap?

If an affirmative response is given to both inquiries, it may be inferred that either excessive acceleration is being applied or the rear shocks/springs have experienced a malfunction, leading to the occurrence of tyre spin.

In the event that the response is negative, it would be necessary to get further information on the specific issue with the tyre, ideally accompanied by visual documentation.

I have precisely same feature on my A209 AMG sport model.
I had undergone a wheel alignment procedure after installing a fresh set of tyres. Subsequently, the vehicle's handling exhibited suboptimal characteristics, as I experienced a noticeable oscillation or vibration, sometimes referred to as a "shimmy," when encountering uneven road surfaces or obstacles, resembling the phenomenon known as scuttle shake.
The decision was made to return the item due to an excessively high rate of wear. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the tyre retailer had mistakenly inputted an incorrect model, lacking the desired staggered arrangement.
The establishment proceeded to reset the item in question and provided a complimentary installation of new tyres. However, I have refrained from revisiting that establishment since that time.

Here is the thread. Disregard the use of the term "asymmetric" in my previous statement; I intended to refer to the concept of "staggered" instead.

[colinallcars]

It is advisable to maintain a tyre pressure of 2.5 units across all tyres in order to prevent excessive strain or damage when driving. The vehicle undergoes annual servicing and MOT inspections at a Mercedes dealership. No issues pertaining to suspension have been identified.
The decision has been made to replace the current set of tyres with Continental brand tyres on Wednesday, the 22nd, as recommended by the tyre garage. As Pirelli is not well regarded by them.
The fronts are approaching a mileage of 17,000 and currently possess around 4.3 millimetres of remaining tread depth. These tyres are of the Pirelli brand.
Thank you for your prompt answer. I will observe and evaluate the subsequent responses.

[Doncaster34]

Initially, it is advisable to rotate the wheels from the rear to the front between alternate maintenance intervals, contingent upon mileage, in order to achieve uniform tyre wear across all four tyres. By using this practise, it becomes feasible to replace all four tyres simultaneously, a judicious course of action.

Based on the observed state of the front tyres, it is my contention that the problem at hand is not attributable to the specific brand and type of the tyres, but rather to the vehicle itself. It is hypothesised that the tyres may be experiencing either slippage or excessive friction.

It is advisable to seek professional services from a respected establishment to do a comprehensive alignment of the full-geometry suspension. Additionally, it is recommended to have the rear suspension, brakes, and parking brake inspected.

[colinallcars]

Thank you for your prompt response. The front has a value of 225, while the back has a value of 245, which indicates that swapping is not possible. However, I will investigate the alignment issue.
I express my gratitude one again.

Greetings, the vehicle I own was equipped with Continental 5p tyres, which exhibited a notably unsatisfactory rate of wear.

I have just installed the Goodyear Asi 5 tyre, which is a far superior tyre in terms of overall performance.

However, because to limited availability, I have temporarily installed an inexpensive Chinese tyre until my new Goodyear tyre is delivered.

[WhisperingWillow]

I own the 4 matic estate variant, which was originally equipped with run flat Continental tyres. I was able to get a mileage of 28,000 miles from the rear tyres.

It is advisable to refrain from installing new tyres without first doing a comprehensive four-wheel alignment procedure at a reputable professional establishment. This precaution is necessary since the aforementioned issue may persist with the new tyres if the underlying fault is inside the vehicle's geometric alignment.

What is the total number of sets that you have installed, and is it accurate to state that each set has exclusively endured a mileage of 4,000 miles? Can you confirm the uniformity of wear on both tyres, since it would be quite rare for such pronounced early wear to occur evenly on both tyres as you have described?
