Wow 50k is impressive. I’m only at 14500 and needing new rearsSecond set is nearly bold at 50K miles. The truck eats them like candy...
How has your range been with the coopers?I had 12,500 miles on mine with minimal wear and no unusual tread patterns. Rotations at 5K, All Purpose Drive 90% of the time. I imagine my original tires will last 30K without a question. I switched to Coopers for a better off road tire here in the desert, but I'll toss the Scorpions back on at some point.
Scorpions at 12,500 miles.
The picture below shows my Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's at the 22,000 mile mark. Impressive tire.
The Coopers are Load Range E, so they have a 80psi rating. I run the at 60-65psi and the range is identical (not harsh at 60psi). I've done a few write-ups on them. Excellent wear, excellent wet and dirt traction (only hard pack snow to date), not noisy (yet). A more aggressive sidewall and they look the part as well. I'll get another set. Highly recommended.
That’s great to hear, thanks for the insight! Will definitely look into them
Please stop with the misinformed "warranty" innuendo. No OEM tires, including Michelins, are covered by tread life warranty if those tires are on a new car from the dealer. There might be some exceptions I'm not aware of, but this is true of every car I've ever owned.
Please don't get triggered on assumptions. There is no misinformation there. Indeed, OEM tires do not have a warranty, I never said they did. My point was that at least my new tires do if poor wear continues. You can buy another set of the Pirellis and they'll have a warranty too. For me, though, there were no positives to the Pirellis other than they looked okay.
Same tires with lots of towing & twisty mtn hwy driving. First rotation at 12k miles, F-8/32, R -10/32 I hope to get close to 30k.
Sounds like what mine were going for, 35k. I replaced all 5 at 29k with 9/32 on the best dropping to 5/32.
Yeah did a rotation around 6k so I’m finding it really weird that I need new already…
I hate to be that guy. But...
]These were the tires that came on your new Volvo, and that's Volvo giving you the credit, right? Michelin's warranty clearly states they won't do that, but no it doesn't surprise me that some dealers might give you a credit for good will, and it doesn't surprise me that Michelin will give the dealers some leeway. You were fortunate. But as Michelin does not cover tread wear on OEM tires, that's not something you could have counted on and if you didn't get the credit I certainly wouldn't BLAME either Michelin or Volvo for adhering to what their published warranty says.I hate to be that guy. But...
I definitely was able to get Michelin to honor my treadlife warranty. My 2018 Volvo V60 Polestar (Engineered) ate through its first set of Michelin Pilot SuperSports at 12k miles. They had a 30k listed treadlife warranty. One call from my Volvo Service Parts Department, and I received a 60% pro-rate on a new set (since I only received ~40% of the advertised mileage). My service department just had to fill out some paperwork to receive the credit from Michelin, and charged me only 40% of their price.
In fact, Micheline REQUIRED the service center or dealership who could verify/validate who had installed the tires be the ones to call. In other words, if I called, it didn't matter. But when Volvo called on my behalf, it was a 3 minute conversation that worked in my favor.
[Only got 18k miles out of the second set, by the way--ended up swapping to Conti DSWs, but I definitely had to let up on the throttle around tight turns a bit more than I wanted do
To be clear.
