Tyre deflation warning

[5thcivic]

But perhaps the tarmac/asphalt in Poland is slightly better than in the UK...?

I would not at all be surprised if it was.

[Jazzik]

With those higher pressures are the tyres showing any centre wear ?

Yes, they do, exactly the same as inner and outer shoulder wear. Perfectly even.
And what makes it even more fun: very little wear after almost 13,500 mi.
for Vredestein!

I never even attained 10K out of the tyres on my Mk2 Jazz.  The Jag I had at the same time gave me 35K miles on Pirellis.

I have run 3 sets of all season tyres on various cars  . Goodyear Vector gen 2 and Gen 3  and some budget Kumho Solus.    At normal pressures.      All have given exceptionally low  tread  wear. I cant quantify it in miles  but they seem to last forever compared to summer tyres.     

There was something on TV this morning about  rainwater runoff from motorways   straight into steams.  Lots of pollution from tyre dust.

It's a very good point that's not good news for fishermen or those of us who eat their catch!

Your Jazz was on Vanilla Fudge Soft tyres?

I think brake dust and rubber tyre particles are already firmly in the crosshairs of the environmental lobby as their next campaign. Watch this space!

The major factor in tyre dust is the weight of the vehicle and resistance to rolling of the tyres in contact with the road. Lorries and heavy trucks are likely to be major contributors and heavy EV’s will play their part.
Lighter ICE cars not so much.

Euro 7 regulations will include both tyre and brake dust emissions.

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_6495

Regulate emissions from brakes and tyres: the Euro 7 standards rules will be the first worldwide emission standards to move beyond regulating exhaust pipe emissions and set additional limits for particulate emissions from brakes and rules on microplastic emissions from tyres. These rules will apply to all vehicles, including electric ones


Thou the implementation of Euro 7 has been put off at the moment.

That'll be this:

Run-off from roads doesn't seem to be effectively regulated, monitored, or controlled. Not just tyre dust either: "Campaigners have been doing their own testing and told the BBC they had found micro-plastics, heavy metals, toxic chemicals like arsenic and carcinogenic compounds from car tyres."

If I remember correctly it was fitted with Dunlops when new which I replaced with Bridgestone when the time came.  They didn't make any difference to the longevity.  I had the car for 10 years by which time it had done 40K miles.  I'd fitted a brand new set of tyres a month before my wife fancied changing it for the hybrid.

Brake pads and tyres are consumable products, they wear out, so how do they intend implementing that one !

Yes - Dunlop SP2030s. 10K for the front pair was about what I got on my MK2. At 10K they weren't bald but down to 3mm which is when I tend to change anyway.

You can't come on here with common sense comments like that!
