My turbos is just back from service and I was surprised to find tread depth on front tyres down to 4.7mm after only 6000 miles. Tyres are 21" Continentals N1, the rear tyres are a little better. At this rate I calculate the fronts will be down to 3mm by around 10,000 miles which seems a little excessive to me. When the time comes to replace the tyres I have a choice of Pirelli's, Michelin or same as fitted. Does anyone know which of the 3 authorised tyres for the gen 2 Macan gives the best wear ??

The original Michelin all season tyres would normally last for 30,000 miles +.

Not sure what tyres are now available.

Michelins on my Turbo lasted until 23,000 but there was still enough tread left for a couple of thousand more miles but I wanted a new set for the Winter.

Had new tyres fitted via OPC at the service and MOT last Sept and it was £1k for the set of 20”.
