I just got back from the dealership for a 5,000 mile scheduled service. I had 5,440 miles on my 2024 AWD Ioniq 6 SEL.

When they finished "checking" the car and rotating the tires, I had them do a tire tread depth check.

I read all over the interwebs (including this forum) that weight leads to excessive treadwear. I think weight may have a slight effect on treadwear, but I am officially convinced that driving style is 95% of the issue.

Since I got the car in late December, I made a conscious decision to NOT drive the car like an F1 driver. I didn't do the pedal to the floor launches and 99% of the time, I kept the car in ECO mode. I just drove my I6 like a normal, everyday passenger car.

The tread depth from the factory on my 245-40-20 Pirelli All Season Elect tires is 10/32.

After 5,440 miles of non-aggressive driving, the tire wear was very even and identical left to right. The fronts were 9/32 and the rears were 8/32.

Assuming tire wear stays constant over time (but I think I have read that it doesn't), these tires should last possibly another 25,000 miles. For an UHP W-rated A/S tire, those aren't horrible numbers.

What cold air pressure do you maintain?

My 2023 has the same Michelins. I keep typically, 40 psi front and rear. After 9,400 miles mostly in NE Ohio. I measured 8/32 on both front and rear. Heat is what wears out tires, low pressure, hot summers, fast acceleration. Scrubbing off in the driveway doing a turn around doesn’t help. I expect these to last to the 36 month lease

I like not buying tires, and bypassing gas stations. My humble HEV routinely goes 700 miles on a tank, and the OEM tires from 2018 are now at 78,000 miles with lots of legal tread left.

I suggest driving on 7 year old tires in Ohio is too risky for me. Hydroplaning into a guide rail tends to negate your savings by delaying a new set of tires.

I am getting the newer Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 (non-foam version) installed on Thursday. The reviews are excellent, better wet traction, 25% better treadwear, 50k mile treadwear warranty, 10% better rolling resistance, and supposedly better light snow traction. NTB (owned by Mavis) has them in 245-40-20 size for $274 and a $100 instant rebate ($25 ea tire). That's $55 less expensive each tire than tirerack.

Anyway, I'll do an intial impression after I get them installed.

I read the reviews, looks like a great choice. I have run Pirelli on a couple cars with a positive experience. Higher Road noise on concrete highways was the only real negative. This became noticeable at about half tread. Hope this isn’t an issue, seems Pirelli has focused on improving noise performance. I look forward to hearing your impressions
