Default Re: MD Mondeo tyre life

Hi rxj,
I am on my 4th Mondeo, currently have a 2017 MD Titanium Wagon. Only last week I changed all 4 Tyres from the original Continental Rubber to a Set of Kumho KU39. I got 38000km out of the original Set, which I thought was OK. the Conti's do not last long, admittedly they are great Tyres but too pricey for what you get Life wise.
The Kumho's cost me $155 each including Fitting and Balancing.
I used various Versions of Kumho's on my previous Mondeos and always got around 40-45000 out of them. I tried Falken, Dunlop and Michelins but I think the KU39 are a great Tyre for the Money. Handles and brakes well in wet and dry, is quiet and doesn't tramline.
I do around 6000km a Month, so longevity is important to me, I get them rotated and balanced at every Service, check psi every week and run at 40-41.
I do a mix of Suburban and Country Driving, so your average Lifespan seems a bit low
cheers
