Tyre wear excessive on phev?

Featured Replies

I received my phev Kodiaq MK2 in December 2024. I have driven approximately 9000 miles. I recently got my vehicle serviced by my local Skoda dealer. I was surprised to hear them recommending changing my front tyres soon. They said they only had 3mm of tread left on them.

I don't drive erratically or spin the front wheels at all.

Had anyone else had similar tyre wear issues on their vehicles?

It has been posted about often enough since the Mk1,s pre PHEV and also with Enyaqs.

There are a few things you can do:

  • Take your car for an alignment, to make sure there is no issue with that

  • Check the profile of the tires to see if they are evenly worn (inner and outer part of the tire has same thread depth)

  • Swap front and rear tires, as rear ones should be less worn out (less weight, FWD)

  • If allowed by your tires profile, also cross them (right back to left front and so on), especially if point 2 shows uneven lateral wear

  • Depending on the weather conditions on where you live / drive, you can consider all season tires, though they are a compromise, having both the good and the bad of both worlds, so not excelling at either. If safety is important for you (as it should be) stick with summer / winter tires

  • Weight of the PHEV is indeed higher (118 to 265 kg or less) than the others, but not enough to explain such a fast wear, so it would be interesting to know what kind of tires you have fitted on it and what kind of driving you've been up to (if you have winter tires, which are softer, and you never changed them during the summer, this can be a reason)

  • Pictures always help, so if you can, add some (front/back tires, thread view etc)
