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.
