Jeep tyres

Hi Bundy. they are probably only highway tread and this mileage is all you can expect from OE fitment, I would replace them with an allterrain tyre. Bob

It is hard to say whether it is normal or not without looking at the tyres. Enter the words " tyre wear patterns" into Google and have a look at some of the sites that come up. You may find your tyres are showing signs of wear caused by over or under inflation or a number of other things. If you can't see anything unusual on the tyre tread then it may well be normal for that type of tyre.

My missus new car did the same burnt out tyres after what I thought was pretty low ks.I was told by the local tyre power, that the car manufactors screw the tyre companies so hard on price that the tyre mobs just wind down the rubber content for the car companies and these are what end up on the new cars. I guess with 2 or 3 million tyres in one order sounds reasonable

265/50R20 ??? has me thinking that after market wheels and tires have been fitted ?? 265 = width , 50 = profile depth and 20 =wheel diameter …… there is no way that you'l get anything but a highway profile tire ,, what model Jeep is it ???

Bundy hi,
I am guessing Your Grand daughter is 20ish, maybe You could have a bit of a look at driving habits. That being said 30,0000 from original tyres on a large vehicle is probably close to the mark.

36000 klm is all we got out of our grand cherokee tyres they were khumos .we are fairly steady drivers with about 10 klms of that towing I'm the same wasn't real impressed so gone to a
Different brand nitto terra grappler to see how they go cheers

Thanks for all the feedback, looks like normal wear, result of soft compound and shallow tread pattern. Grandaughter is not an aggressive driver unlike my wife so I have ruled that out. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement tyre that will not drain her baNk account too much?. I believe Coopers to be good tyres but I think an overkill for the job in hand, any other suggestions ?..
Cheers and thanks Neville G.

My advice is scan Ebay until you can pick up a set of Laredo rims which are 18''.

You should by past experiences pick up late model rims very cheap and cheap enough to offset the cost of buying the 20'' tyres.

A lot of people (my neighbour for example) will order the LTD model with the 265/60/18 tyres at no extra cost and have the same rolling diameter as the 20'' and are superior offroad due to the higher profile.

The standard 18'' Michelins on my car are very quiet but the rubber depth is very shallow when new.Probably half of a offroad tyre.

I think i will be lucky to get 50k's out of them.

The other advantage of the 265/60/18 tyres is that they are the same as Pajero and Prados so are common.

Federal couragia su is what I got for the wife's SUV. No way I'd put at's on a car that doesn't go offroad anyway. 30 Kms is average to good for oe tyres in that size.
