Check your trip computer on the screen that's "Since last Reset" (NOT since last start) Look at your average speed. I bet its lower than 75!

With mostly highway miles, and approaching 11K miles driven, my Conti's look to be approaching their halfway point. I am hoping for 25K. There are not to many twisty roads in Oklahoma , so the fronts are still in great shape.

E500 4Matic tire wear

I got 44K miles out of the first set of OE Conti A/S tires on my 2005 E500 4Matic. I could have gotten another 6K but the inner edges of the front tires were cupped and the noise was driving me crazy. I now have 22K miles on ContiExtremeContact A/S directional tires and I am confident that I will get another 22K miles.

On this second set of tires I had them flipped at 20K miles so that I could run them on the opposite side of the car. I am hoping this measure will let me get to 44K without the noise level I experienced with the first set.

I do 80% freeway driving at 65 mph. I am still on the original brake pads and rotors and they may make it to 100K miles.

I think it all depends on how you drive.
