Curious what anyone is seeing with single motor Mach-E select for stock tire life? 30k miles?

I have a Mach E Premium RWD with Michelin Primacy A/S 225/55/19 103H stock tires and am at 22k miles. I just checked tire threads and am at roughly 5-6/32.

Anyone have similar experiences? It would seem these tires which are warrantied for 45k miles may not even make it past 30k-35k.

I only started looking in because there is a small sidewall chip on one tire and was trying to figure out if I should wait it until all the tires need replacement.

In our family experience with hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs, especially one long-service plug-in Prius and one Ford Fusion Energi that got sold with 122,000 miles on it, the hybrids tend to be tougher on tires, even really good tires like Michelins, than regular cars. For a while there, I was running the 100,000 mile Michelin Defenders on that Fusion... they never quite made it to 100,000 miles on any wheel. Brake pads, on the other hand, seem to last forever on all these cars.

What is a lot? Half, 25%?
Using as 10-11/32 as new, it seems at 20k miles, about 40-50% of the threads are worn down. About 4500 miles / 1/32 thread. Considering you can only go to about 2-3/32, it would seems 35-36K, maybe 40k miles would be the time for replacement.

I've got 23K on mine and still a lot of tread left

This is where the Premium tires start according to Michelin. Not sure what tire the Selects come with.

7200 miles and this is what the rear tires look like. Just had them rotated and now they are on the front. Trying to make a warranty claim

What kind of roads to you drive on usually? That is some serious wear....or some serious driving. This only happened to the rear tires?

My rear has 2/32 less than front. I have a rwd premium but I think the rears wear faster in general on these cars.

That’s odd. I thought most tires start at 10-11/32. Maybe the wear rate isn’t as much I calculated then.

I live in Northeast PA. Some of the roads have chip and oil top coat. These were on the rear and were just rotated to the front. The fronts are better but not by much....just not at the wear bars yet. The roads around here do eat tires, but these are my last Michelins....and believe me I don’t drive it hard...fast on the highway but not hard. Gonna try for at least 2 new ones through Ford then try another brand going forward. For what its worth I also have a Honda Ridgeline with Falken Wildpeaks which, in my view, are wearing much too quickly.

I looked up those michelin primacy 225/55r19 103h tires and good god they are $250 each. I figured they would be cheaper than my current Mustang tires, but nope...

I think it depends largely on driving style. My brother's RWD Select is wearing the fronts slightly faster than the rears but he is a very modest driver. My AWD wears them both at the exact same rate. If I didn't rotate the tires on my Focus Electric, the set up front would have been gone after 20k miles. I had a habit of accelerating just hard enough to keep the front wheels from slipping and while that was kinda fun to drive that way....it sure ate up the tires pretty quick. I now have much more respect for the punishment that electric motors can dish out on a set of tires that I have changed my driving style to be less abusive to the rubber. Same stuff happens in racing. Some drivers can get more life out of a set of tires without losing lap time while other drivers just chew them up as fast as they can.

When Lane Centering is working well, it's pretty easy on the tires. When it is constantly correcting itself then the tires get scrubbed down more than necessary. Same basic thing when it doesn't steer to the apex of the corner. That just scrubs off speed and wastes energy. Plus, quick starts and max regen is also hard on the tires. I am actually surprised that I am getting so much mileage out of this set. When new, they measured about 9 1/2 thirty seconds of an inch. They are down to 5/32nds now. Very surprised. I think I will get another set just like the OEM tires and run them again.

Got 4 tired replaced under warranty from Ford. Tech said If I rotate every 5K I should get 15K or so out of these, but he suggests once the warranty is up to go for Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires.
