2016 GLC 300
Not quite at 13k miles and I am down to 4/32 and they are evenly worn. Continentals 19 inch. Rotated once.
My RX350 with OEM Michelin’s made it to 25k. They were 19 inch.
I am ditching the run flats as I have read on this site it makes a difference in the ride and hopefully the longevity of the tires.
Portable air compressor and a plug kit fit nicely where the spare should have been.

Been waiting for this thread to be revived. Tire wear varies due to specific driving styles, inflation pressures and road surfaces and probably a hundred other things. I am at 19,000 miles on 19's and they measure 6 to 7/32 left. Also rotated once.

Had to replace the fronts at 7,100 miles!! They are the factory 21" Continental ContiSport Contacts and the fronts were worn to the wear bars at 7,100 miles on my GLC43 AMG!! And they wore evenly. The backs are fine. Wonder if the Continentals sell Mercedes a different tire compound than the exact replacements from Tire Rack, just to sell more tires.

Mine has 10k miles. And based on the depth of the thread, I think, another 24-27k miles to go

GLC300
Ok, I know this is a bit late, but I just joined. I have a '17 GLC300 with 14k miles on it. The rear tires are in the yellow and the fronts are now at the edge of red on my tread guage. The centers are gone. It looks like the tires were over inflated. I had an alignment done on the car last year because The dealer said there was a lot of wear on the tires. I notice that the center of the tires are in bad shape but the inside/outside are still not too bad. In fact unless you get down to look at the tires, they look ok.

When I started researching tires to replace then, it looked like pretty much everything out there is garbage now. They area advertising 60k mile tires that are getting 25-30k before they are either worn out of noisy.

Same problem. 14K and the Perlli tires need to be replaced. No warranty of course.

23,000 miles now on our Bridgestone DriveGuards and they still look like new. So far so good.

It’s the wife’s car but she hasn’t said anything about the mileage changing. They come with a 60,000 mile wear warranty.

Are they a quieter tire? Think the run flats I have are noisy.

When riding with her I haven’t noticed excessive tire noise. Once again her car not mine.

Really late to this post myself. I have a GLC 300 that has now gone through 2 sets of tires in 30,000 miles. Inflated to 35psi, and rotated every 5K
Dealer replaced the first set free and aligned, not for the 2nd. So looking for the best tire for the GLC 300 that will give me more than 15K wear.

Try Michelin Defender LTX.
Have 10k miles on them down to 9/32 from new 10.5/32. Nice and quiet ride.
