Best test result: #6 of 50 in 2026 Summer Braking Super Tyre Test - How do 52 Tyres Perform in Wet and Dry Braking? (overall ranking)
“Why have my continental PC7’s worn down so quickly? I fitted these in January last year, after which I’ve done about 13.5k miles. 4 days a week I drive motorway, rest of the week locally. 320 miles a week are motorway, and about 20 are local, some weeks less but never more. They seem to be quite heavily worn already, the outside shoulder looks like it’s pretty much done, and the tread further in looks like it’s at about 2.5mm if the tread wear indicator is 1.6mm. I bought these as new takeoffs, and when they came I measured them they were at 5.9-6.2mm depending where you measured, so by that they’ve worn over 3mm in only 13k. I had primacy 4’s before, which did approximately 35k miles. Maybe I’m just an idiot or these wear fast, but my alignment should be fine, it doesn’t pull any which way and I don’t do burnouts or anything, it’s just a daily driven FWD diesel Toyota with not enough power to rinse tires. Normally I’m looking and giving advice to people about tires but this has stumped me Anyone got any insight?”
