I’ve had 9 tyres in one lease – Grand Picasso returned at 74,000 miles 3 years and 3 months old. never got asked about it and never knew there was a limit.
3x punctures. Kwikfit said couldn’t be repaired. Worn out 2 sets of new fronts and a set of rears.
As for EV’s chewing tyres, that’s daft. Kia Soul EV, 42,000 miles, two fronts only at 34,000 worn out. Pretty much the same sort of mileage I got from the S-Max that followed it. They were much the same power/weight wise as well. Current Ioniq 5 at 10,000 miles, tyres still well over 1/2 tread. I’d expect mid 20,000s at a minimum.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
