2019 Vitara two wheel drive, 48k miles.
DOT code on rears is 1819 so the originals…ContiEcoContacts. Tread now circa 2.0mm and a bit, just noted a few tiny cracks appearing on both.Nothing too alarming but a few nonetheless, but you need to get close up and personal to see them.
Obviously time to replace if one is sensible.
Fronts were replaced when I bought the car 2.5 years ago, ContiPremiumContact 7s, still with 4/5mm tread depth.
Ideally i’d swap them to the rear and put new ones on the front, but i’ve had excellent experiences previously with both Michelin Alpins on my old BM330 and CrossClimates on a later car.
Mixing summer & all seasons is frowned upon, according to what I’ve read.
I’m thinking I should just buy 2 new ‘summer’ tyres, because although all seasons could be very useful here in the YDales, if it snows, being retired, I don’t need to get to work, and 50% of my annual mileage is on my two European motoring holidays.
Thoughts please..and should i mix the ContiPremiumContacts with other brands, albeit on another axle ?
