My first Disco, which was a V8 petrol engined jobbie, ran 54000 miles on its Avon Turbospeed tyres and it never went offroad!
Going to the other extreme, the worst car I ever had for tyres was an Alfa GTV. Both front tyres were shot after 6500 miles and that's just with 'normal' road driving. Anyone beat that?

Just had a quote for a new tyre on my TTRS - £257 per wheel
Atleast I got nearly 15k out of it!
So - with the RR - can we expect over 20k miles out of each tyre? If so, that is a pleasant surprise. Assume its tread depth is it?

It all depends on how you drive - early RRS's ate tyres too, but they were Craptinentals

On our Kuga we have 235/45 R19. We went through three tyres in a year due to some very unfortunate bad luck (or could have been driving), plus one other change due to general usage.
None the less we had to wait up to 1-2 weeks on every change, which at some stages ended up in us having to use a rental car. Tyres were about £250-£320 each but fortunately we had tyre insurance. We obviously have an unusual size to have caused the problems experienced (I know this is a common problem with Kuga 19" owners). We had Bridgestones but due to stock now a mixture between Pirelli, Continental, and Bridgestones.
But after that fiasco I'm somewhat scarred in thinking to either get tyre insurance again or go out and buy a set of 4 spare tyres as a back up to save on cost and time should we need a replacement. Need to check how ready available the Evoque 20" tyre specs are.

Will the standard evoque Tyres be any use in the snow ?
I was thinking of getting the STD td4 & just leaving the STD Tyres on for winter & hoping that would be good enough
Or getting the 2wd & fitting it with snow Tyres ( I know that would work to)
Not sure what to do

I got through a brand new set of tyres on a 911 in an afternoon once, driving 12 laps of the Nurburgring.

Just checked my build sheet and it says Pirelli's also (029BA).
Did everyone who's received their evoque get Pirellis? lf so which type?
Thanks

My new coupe has Pirelli Verde mud and snow all season tyres
Good for me I think

My build sheet / Topix says Continental - I'm getting 20" btw, it may well be different by size of wheel.

Could be mine are 19"
