Not the most exciting topic I could have started

Our Yeti has now covered just over 47500 miles and is still on the original rear tyres, what's the most anyone has got before replacing rears, they still have a fair bit of tread left quite surprised how light on wear it seems on the rears.

We are coming up to two years ownership in November and will have covered around 40k miles in that time

Sadly we picked up a stonechip to the screen last night which is being repaired next week.

Also just noticed the car is 3 in May so will need an MOT

You are doing well. I had 27,000 on mine before I part exchanged it and felt I had a few thousand to go, but I doubt they would have gone that far. Are you a 2wd and what brand of tyre?

4x4 140bhp hence my surprise I want to say Dunlop but will check, fronts have been changed

My car had all four wheels changed at 37,000 miles, but I did rotate the fronts to the rear at 20,000 miles. My Audi did 65,000 on the rears this was two wheel drive though.

65k on rears that's good, they are Dunlop tyres, if it wasn't wet I'd grab the tyre depth and see where they are at

All very impressive. I'm on Pirellis now and will see how I get on.

3.5mm on the rears at the moment, though the fronts at best are 4mm so think it's going be a set of 4 coming up....

I have done almost 20,000 miles and there does not appear to be excessive wear on any of the tyres - I had thought of changing around front and rears but there seems very little difference and I would think all of them are good for at least another 10-15,000 miles.

Worth bearing in mind that the 4x4 Yetis are FWD most of the time, so you'd expect much less wear on the back unless your driving technique is "unusual".

Autoglass did an excellent repair to the windscreen.
