Rear tyres are down to 3mm on the DBX (on second set and currently c16k miles). Car is on 22" wheels - summer tyres.

Stuck with the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 last time (changed all 4) but wondering if there are better options (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for example which are also better value).

Anyone moved away from the Pierrli's?

cheers

Sounds as though each set of tyres is lasting less than 10,000 miles.

I know if someone puts their mind to it, they could probably wear out a set in an afternoon, but did you expect more than that mileage?

Michelin's tend to have softer sidewalls so it might introduce more roll. That being said on the Vantage many do say the PS4S does make an improvement.

Additionally, not sure on the dbx specifically, but is it using AnumberA designation as all current other models do. It means pirelli do alter specifics to meet the manufacturer requirements.

I think the first set lasted around 9000 miles (down to the markers on the rear and around 3 or 4mm left on the fronts at that time) but we changed them all as we were about to do some long trips.

The PZ4s are AM specific and stamped accordingly but not the Michelins but they have all the same spec (XL, speed rating etc etc).

There are limited choices in the tyre size so not a huge choice other than yoko's, michelin and the pirellis.
