Need new tires at 26K?!?!

[MindlessTeesCX5]

Hey Guys so my tires are pretty bad I can visibly tell that the tires are shot. I brought this up to the dealer and was given no clear answer as it seems the tires went way to quickly, I expected 35K to 40K at least. As I'm looking into new tires I'm noticing that most of them all come with a warranty for XXXXXX amount of miles. Does anyone know what the stock tires that came on the CX5 what their warranty covered them for? I'm also in the same boat with brakes but thats a little different. Any info advice direction would be helpful. Thanks

If it's the Yokohamas, I had that same model on a RAV4 and only got 20k out of them.

And neither tires nor brakes are covered by a new car warranty.

I've never had OEM tires give me more than 30k before needing replacement

oem tires in my experience also just don't seem to last that long. i have also been perplexed that many of the oem tires i have had in the past seem to be expensive tires, at least when checking prices on tire rack or discount tires, but have typically been pretty crappy tires.

At first I thought the Geolanders were wearing like iron. But then I realized I had swapped for winter tires shortly after taking delivery of my 2.0L CX-5 AWD Touring. With only 26K miles on the vehicle, the Geolanders can't have more than 16,000 (and probably closer to 13,000) on them and yet the tread only has 1/4 (of the total depth) remaining. So they are wearing much faster than I originally thought. They almost always have 37 psi f/r.

To be fair, I do rail the corners pretty hard and this takes it's toll even if I'm not always flooring it and standing hard on the brakes very often. Also, AWD models will naturally wear out tires at a faster rate than FWD models.


Personally, I take joy in seeing my tires getting worn out - just means I get new shoes sooner without feeling too wasteful.

If you need brakes at 26,000 mi, you are a very aggressive driver which explains the tire wear. IMO.

Got 43,000 miles out of them with proper inflation and rotation.

Mechanic thinks I will get close to 70,000 miles on my brakes.

Both of those point to you being pretty aggressive in your driving habits.
