I’ve been having a problem with the tyres dropping pressure every 6 - 8 weeks.
I’ve owned the car for about for about 4 months now and had to inflate the the tyres 3 times after the pressure warning light came on.
So I went to my local tyre shop today thinking they might recommend resetting the tyres on the rims only for them to point out the two front tyres were almost illegal.
My wife and I have both noticed wheel spin when driving in comfort mode, not so in Eco mode.
So, I’ve ordered 2 new tyres, same as OEM , Good year efficient grip performance 215 45 20.
Price was £173 each fitted, not a bad price really when I’ve looked into it.
Now I know tyre replacement is an obvious part of car ownership, but my vehicle only has 15,000 miles on the clock.
Has anyone replaced their tyres yet and if so after how many miles?

If I move the worn rears to the front and put the new tyres and wheels to the rear will my TPM sensors work out they have moved on their own?

That is a decent price. I lost a tyre to a pothole after only 4,000 miles and it was over £200 to replace.

Tyres are fitted now.
They did something with TPM sensors, not sure what, said they had a machine that sorted them out when you swap the tyres around.
Anyway, I reset the pressures on the steering and all seems good.
Hopefully will get 20 to 30k from this set, but who knows.

You are probably accelerating too hard. If you are getting wheelspin in the dry, you definitely are. You'll never see 20,000 miles if you keep doing it.

I think you’re right soops.
Thing is, I nearly always drive the car in Eco mode, but most times when I get into the car after my wife it’s in sports mode 😩
