Looking for feedback for expected tire mileage life for the Pirelli Cintuarto P7 (RF) tires on a 2019 E450 Convertible (2WD)? Primarily non-aggressive city driving. Currently have 13,800 miles on new set. Rrear tires are below 2/32" with front tires below 4/32". Is this mileage typical? Planning to replace with exact same tire, as the ride and handling is great. Other suggestions on tire selection?

I had a 14 E550 cabriolet. I got about 10,000 miles to the first pair of rear tires.


Here is how I did it.

1. There were a couple of places where I had to pull into 65MPH traffic with no on ramp and limited visibility.
2. I would roll the power on while turning into the travel lane.
3. The traction control did NOT appear to kick in.
4. (But the tires were actually spinning a little. It was enough.)

Here is how I fixed it.

1. I went to a sticky set of summer tires. (Michelin Pilot Super Sports)
2. Trained my brain...
3. Get the car moving, ease the throttle, turn, straighten out, back on the throttle.

The next sets of tires lasted 22 to 24,000 miles.


For your car think about...

• Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (Summer tires. The car will slip and slide at the first snowflake.)
• Michelin Primacy 3 (All season. Maybe a bit better traction and feel than your P7s.)
