Seal AWD service at 30k

AssistanceSad3748 | 2026-01-27 23:22 | 9 views

Just had my Seal serviced for the first time. Required new rear tyres. It’s the full ev version so it has a lot of power. I have this weird error sometimes where all safety systems shutdown but let’s not get into that just yet. Because of this my rear wheels sometimes spin fast when I drive over a speed bump. My front tyres had 3.6mm profile. The rear had 1.6mm. My question is: Is a tyre change (rear) normal after 30k on the clock or might this be related to my cars issue? I know there are a lot of factors that might apply so I’m mostly wondering if I’m the only one or if there’s lots of you out there with a change at that point.

I just went and checked and my RWD Seal is at 1.8 on the rears and 3.5 on the fronts after 37700km

Even in 2wd if you're spinning wheels off a speed bump you're pushing way too hard than you need to.

I think on average Seal AWD stock tires last about 30,000 km, though this depends on your driving style and road conditions. Mine is almost EOL at just 16,000 km because I drive spiritedly, but just last week I’ve seen others swap theirs at 50,000 km with plenty of treads left on all tires!

After one summer season and 16 000 km the Continental EcoContact 6 doesn't have a lot of profile, but enough for a front to rear / rear to front swap and second season (which will be the last for them), so yeah - the profile / thread disappear quite fast. However i really like the Continental tyres, great grip.

RWD, had new tyres fitted after first service a week ago. Only 17k on the odo. Definitely a lot of tyre wear if you drive anywhere spiritly.

It’s only happening when the systems are off and it’s wet outside. But I get your point.
