Hi All

Having our first ever MH I have never had to buy these tyres.

We have only had her 18 months (from new) and covered approx 8,500 miles ( yes we do like going out in her a lot Laughing )

Firstly, what is the mileage we can expect to get out of them before re-newing ?

Secondly, looking at the code on the tyre its

Michelin 215/R15 CP I have googled this to find a cost but only foreign sites come up. Can anyone throw some light on these points for me.

Thanks

Dave

The issue you will have with your tyres is not one of tread wear, it will be one of deteriation on the wall of the tyre, I believe you should get around 5 years out of the tyres.

Have a look at the date stamp on each of the tyres, they will probably be different on each tyre.

you should replace them when they are 6 to 7 years old .
you may expect a running distance of up to 60000 kilometers
when driving not too ambitous Very Happy

here is a tire trader Smile

fiddle in your tire data and most probably there will be a price

Here is another query

I hear of rotating tyres, when should this be done and I take it its back on front and front on back, and do Garges provide this service.

Cheers

Dave

Hello,

What size are your tyres?

Are they the dreaded old Michelin XC Tyres or the newer ones?

Unless they are 80 series which I doubt very much. You should have a profile marking.

Most likely

215/"70"/15

the bit in the "...." is the profile

That is the percentage of the width

215 is the width in MM
the "....." is the percentage of the width and...
15 is the size (oddly in Inches).
