Richard44 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Hi has anyone any information on how long tires last on the Mk III my car has done 15,000 and the front tires are near the end of their life and I have heard of someone replacing them at 17,000, so is it just the original tires are soft and the next hopefully will do better Quote
morellomax Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 15k miles from a 2.0 tdci sounds pretty normal to me, unless they're Michelins in which case I'd expect better. Quote

launcelot Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Blimey this is spooky...... I've just ordered today 2 new tyres for the front wheels. The Original Goodyears have just about had it at 16,000 mls. Not over impressed! I got nearly 40,000 mls out of Michelins on my last car - a Scenic 1.9 Diesel. I'm trying Vredestein Hi Trac XL's - fingers crossed they will last a bit further than the bottom of the road! Quote

mumof4 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 no idea the year... but around 1-2 yrs i guess... got this from his profile : Vehicle Type: galaxy mark3 2td 140 Quote
stevie m Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 I have heard that Michelins are one of the best wearing tyres for the Gal. When i had my MK2 i had dunlops god they were pants about 16000 miles out of the fronts that meant i had them changed at least twice a year. Quote
