Factory Continental bad tires. Need replacement at 15K miles

My contis are still holding up, although they got noticeably louder around the 10k mark, and they now chirp almost every time I pull onto main roads from the side roads. Braking traction remains spectacular, they ride fine, and despite multiple people saying wet traction sucks, I've been perfectly satisfied with them during torrential downpours at 60mph. Or on my usual 45mph roads lol.
They suck on dirt roads, especially uphill. And I always worry about them on my way to the trailheads. I'm running them until they're toast, but I wouldn't run them again unless they were stupid cheap lol.

First thing to mention is your tires unless you buy the tire warranty from the dealership there is none then, second go to your local discount tire shop real soon after buying your truck and they will check them and your mileage on your truck and then you can buy a full replacement warranty on your tires according to their replacement price usually 25-30 each tire,, they are great tire store I have used them for years with no problems that said my last set on continentals tires for my dodge journey with the 80 k warranty I go in for my rotation and balance they tell me the front tires are down to almost the replacement stage sxo I kind of got a bit upset and they said hey we are going to replace both of them for free but of course you get stuck for the next warranty coverage again,,, My personal opinion of continental tire I will never buy again but the rear tires lasted a lot longer and to be honest I got one damaged in a pot hole and the other one later on damage by a nail in the sidewall and both were replaced for free with new tires for free minus the next warranty coverage charge as well.....

I'm really close to pulling the plug on the same change, at 27,000 miles. May I ask what you paid installed? I looked on Tire Rack, and I figure with local installation I'm around $1,000 for four tires. It interested me that Tire Rack says the 2022 XLT AWD came with both 225 and 235 tires. Mine were 225. Love the free road hazard protection, as I have had flats on the OEM tires and that adds up.

My lariat orm Michelin start to make noise about 5500 miles. Mfg web site recommends rotation when tread depth difference happens and expected at 4-6k miles. The OEM are 45k 8.5/32" and are Ford specs with the primacy OEM Toyotas also meet Ford specs. I seem to be getting better tread wear at 36 psi ambient. Every 10°F temp change requires resetting psi. I'm considering switching to conti "True Contact" 235/60/18 which are 3 lbs heavier than 225. They are 103H rated instead of 100H max psi of 51 instead of 40 so better sidewall. The true contact have 80k expected tread wear. The 235 are 29.1" instead of OEM 28.6". I am hoping my michelins last until my 3/36 OEM "replace any covered item" inspection. Should be able to get free alignment if dealer replace tires at that time.

My Conti's are doing great. 31,000 miles on them and the guy at Discount Tire said they are in really great shape. Always rotated on every oil change. I was hoping they would not be good, I want to put AT's on, but why spend money until I need to.

I went to Mavis because I had a big nail/screw in one. I told the manager I would just get them at Costco unless he could get close to their price. He did, $881 installed with tax in Richland County South Carolina. . He only had one customer in the shop so he needed business. Ordered them but got them 9:30 the next morning.I'm really close to pulling the plug on the same change, at 27,000 miles. May I ask what you paid installed?

My local tire shop just quoted me $1,200 for installed Michelin Defender 2 tires, which is $400 for labor. Now to try the dealership.
Don't forget to ask dealer for coupons. Extra points? Free alignment?

Do you have a Costco near you? I’ve bought several sets of tires from them, not many brands available but Michelin they do have. Only negative is you have to wait about a week, Sam’s pretty much matches Costco prices and I’ve used them as well on a BMW.

holy schmoly, you can't be serious? you're pulling our leg? surely you jest?
100k miles on my original Continentals in my '22 Hybrid... and still going. I would say +80 percent of my mileage is interstate. Some say they needed replacement a long time ago just because of mileage. Where I'm from, as long as they're still rolling, they're good. I will have to replace them though just because they might not pass State safety inspection. I don't know what I will replace them with yet. I would like to get the same but my finances will dictate that decision.

I thought they looked prematurely worn from under-inflation but that might not age the case...
Yep, they are definitely getting there on the outside edges. Still, that part of VA must have some real powderpuff roads.
Side note, I was racking my brain looking at your avatar, thinking "what bike has Brembos, AND a three-spoke wheel, AND carbon fiber body panels???" Then I saw your actual forum name... duh.
The lusty, exposed mechanical bits like in your avatar are what made me fall in love with bikes in the first place - when I was in college 30+ years ago... And I have lusted after Ducatis for decades too, but probably am going to hold on to my VFR until I can't ride on two wheels anymore. Cheers.

I know, hard to believe. But no reason to jest. I'm cheap and i like to make things last and get the most out of my money. I drive like a Sunday driver granny. That's not to say I take my time accelerating from take off. Last I want to do is piss people off behind me. I just take corners and turns really gently. My cold psi is set to 38 if that makes a difference.
I rarely drive the Mav anymore since I have a company now.
