I'm on the 3rd set of tires... The most I've gotten on the stock tires was 32k. My new Nokian Ones are at 33 now, still have 40% left.

I am still on my original set of tires 3 years and 7 months in or 36,084 miles in with plenty of tread left on my 2021 MME First Edition.
We had to replace our OEM tires at 37k back in March of this year (just a tad over 3 years for us). Tire wear was even but nobody wanted to repair a screw that was in the tire so we just replaced all four to be safe.

so tire wear is measured more in miles than years. Are you closer to 20K miles or 30K miles? Also, I wasn't aware that any Mach-E came with run-flats. What tire brand / model do you have?
It’s not just miles, but where those miles are driven.

My stock tires, all city driving, only lasted 11k miles.

Drive all highway and I could have tripled that distance.

The OP definitely didn’t give us enough information.

My 37,000+ miles has been almost all city driving since March 2021 and my original tires are still going strong.

2021 Job 1 First Edition. Yesterday I replaced my worn out OEM Michelin Primacy 125/55R19’s at 37.9k miles. I probably could have gone another few months past 40k miles before replacing but with winter rain/ice/snow coming on, I opted for a greater safety envelope even if they were (barely) still legal.

FYI - My new tires are Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive 135/55R19. According to an online calculator that factors in the greater load range of the Scorpion’s over the Primacy’s, the recommended tire pressure goes up from 39 psi to 41 psi. My tire installer inflated to 39, but I’ll play around with different pressures to optimize.

My immediate impression from my slightly wider, gripper Perelli’s is traction is notably improved, the ride is smoother (they lowpass filter some of the high frequency jitter in the suspension - some of this may be due to mild underinflation - to soon to say), and there is detectable mild but unobjectionable road noise at mid-frequencies that wasn’t there with the foam-lined Michelin’s - no surprises there.

No idea yet about the impact on range, but to me safety rules over all other factors and I’m pleased with the result so far.
Your tire sizes are 225 and 235, not 125 and 135, just so people aren't confused.

@Mach1E ’s tires are kind of not related to this discussion since they were Summer UHPs. Based off of what I have seen on the forum, those lasted between 4K and 27K miles. The curve of longevity has a big bulge right between 9K and 14K miles. Mine went 16.5K miles and for the first year and a half I drive super-sedately. Also not related to this discussion, but just illustrating that these Summer tires do not last Anywhere near the mileage of “normal” tires. ??

2023 - 1 tire has a slow leak.
are you driving with low air pressure? 40-45 should be where you should be at
Door jamb specifies 39psi

I am sitting in the dealership waiting room as I type. 23 GT with 32+k miles. Getting 30k service and new tires. Trying out Michelin
CrossClimate2 this time. 16 months 32k miles just doesn't make me confident in the original factory installed tires. Yes, I do have fun at stop lights ?

30k miles exactly out of my Select AWD tires before needing replacement, that includes racing off of every light, cutting it sideways occasionally on bends, and general all around fun. 2nd set of tires I have yet to power slide with, still aggressive acceleration, but would imagine I get a bit more out of them. My wife also uses the car 50% of the time and she drives like a normal person. So could definitely see 15k-50k based on how you use the car.

Tires used in New England, run at 40psi.

I would say that 32K miles is exemplary (strike that, nearly impossible is more like it) for a GT-PE with Summer UHP tires. I would say it’s about average for a GT that came with all-season tires. Especially for a car that has seen some stoplight and cloverleaf fun. ??

Wife took the California Route 1 Mach E in to the tire place this morning for winter tires and they told us that the tire shoulder is so worn as to be legally "bare". We bought our Mach E in December 2022, so this is less than 2 years. We've rotated once every 10k miles (so twice since purchasing).

Anyone else experiencing quick tire wear on the run flats that come standard when you purchase a Mach E?
We are 3.5 years in 60k miles first set of stock tires on. 2021 job 2. I’m think new tires very soon.
