The mileage capable to be squeezed out of a tyre depends on many aspects. The tyre needs to be of a reputed brand to begin with. The main things are, consistently maintaining manufacturer recommended air pressure, regular tyre rotations, wheel balancing and alignments (10000kms) even with all that being followed negative driving habits such as loaded vehicle, fast cornering, regular hard braking will reduce the mileage significantly. So there is no definitive answer to your question.

supposed to be ~ 8mm but depends on tyres (off-road/passenger/commercial etc) and manufacturers specs. Have a look at the Aust Design Rules too for other information.

Try the Bluearth AE50s, they're a high quality tyre for medium-large size passenger vehicles.

Great grip in the wet, quiet on most surfaces and they offer great fuel savings.

They're about 20% cheaper than the equivalent tyre from Bridgestone, continental or Michelin which is a big plus.

Currently Running Bridgestone Ecopia EP25's on my Toyota Yaris (Factory fitted) and they are completely worn out and illegal at only 40,000kms & $201 EACH to replace!

What's the wear factor on Yokohama's Bluearth AE01s?

How many kms have you guys gotten out of them before replacing and what car are they running on?

I need to replace my tyres ASAP but not sure whether to go with Michelin Energy XM2s or Yokohama's Bluearth AE01s.

Dunno about wear, only at 7000km so far. Me, I'd be happy with 40000km if the performance of the tyre was good.
Yokohama will cost less than Michelin.

I got 42,000km so far and in the process of changing with the same brand now. I can still get another 3,000but there's a special at Bob jane only this month. Buy 3 get 1 free.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yeah I went with Yokohama Bluearth AE01s instead of the Michelin XM2s.

Can happily report I got 45,000kms out of the front tyres on a FWD vehicle without a single tyre rotation or balance!

Of course I replaced the 2 worn out front tyres with the same amazing Bluearths again at the awesome discounted price of only $129 each (thanks Action Tyres & More Southport!)

So I expect to get well over 60,000kms on all four Bluearth's with rotation and balancing every 10,000kms.
