Tire change advice

[Wonder]

Hi everyone,
I need to change the tires on my Jazz (185/55/R16 87H). I currently have all-season tires, but I've only done 25,000 km. I use the car mostly in the city, and in winter it can snow (not this year). I only do about 7,000 km a year.
What can I put on them that will allow them to go at least 30,000 km?
I might even go as far as 35,000/40,000 km.
Thanks for the advice.

I don't know which all-seasons you have now, but we have been driving our Jazz on Vredestein Qatrac 185/55R16 all-seasons since new. Now, after 37,500 km, they are still okay.

Toyo proxes Comforts.

Been excellent, great wet stopping power, smoother than OEM Blue earths and definitely quieter too.

Michelin CrossClimate.  They just go on and on.

I would agree that the Michelin CrossClimate tyres are one of the best choices for a combination of performance and extended wear.
Certainly not the cheapest, but there is a lot of info on the web which confirms they have a long tread life.

Hi, the tires I'm using are Bridgestone Weather Control A005 all-season tires, but as I said, I've only gotten 25,000 km on them. The new model has just come out, and it also has a compound optimized for electric vehicles, so it should last longer.
Anyway, I went to my tire dealer, and installing a set of top-brand wheels is really too expensive now. Given the way I use my car, I've decided to spend a little less. Next week, I'll let you know what I've installed.

Last month I replaced Yokohama with FALKEN ZE320.

I have been very  happy with my Goodyear Vector gen 3 all seasons (and vector gen 2's on my previous Yaris)   .  Tread wear seems noticeably better  than  my Yokohama  summer tyres.   

I estimate my all season tyres have done approximately 30,000 km so far ,approximately half on low wear motorway trips and half on high wear  stop/starting and twisty roads.  The fronts still have about  5mm of tread.

I cant be precise about this  as I swop wheels  between summer tyres on original rims and  a second set of wheels on the All seasons during colder months.  (I have been able to use my 'all season' wheels   on two different Mk 4 Jazz so far and never needed to buy any further new tyres for either set of wheels )

I think  Michelin have claimed  their cross climates still give good  enough  winter grip even when worn down to 1.6mm .  Contrary to  other manufacturers who  recommend buying new  tyres at 3mm.  But many European countries   require at least 3mm sometimes 4mm to remain legal as a winter tyre.    This could be a bit of a problem if you run only all seasons find you need to replace them at 3 or 4mm to be legal for winter, when otherwise you might have  got another summers use from them.       But this is partially offset because new   all- season tyres  typically start with   8mm of tread depth, while many new summer tyres only have 7mm .

+1 for the Vectors. I had them on my old Yaris, and they were great! I think their only downside is that the fuel efficiency could be a bit better, but they are fairly quiet, grippy, and very durable.

If only I could get them for my mk2 Jazz! (I have 16” alloys)
