Tires are all about the luck of the draw.1 year 11 months and 100k miles later....
Still runs great and continues to get 40+ mpg. She's holding up fine but does look a little rough with the dent when a branch fell on her during a storm. Also, I don't know when it happened but I must have driven on a wet road paint. She has some white spots on her. I have stuff to get it off but haven't taken the time. It's all over in the wheel wells.
Lots of unavoidable chips on the paint in the bumper and a few on the windshield.
Eeeevry now and then, the transition from ICE to electric is not as smooth when slowing down to a stop. It's as if it's not sure whether it wants to stay in ice or electric.
The transmission fluid leak is still there even after spending $500 at the dealer trying to get it fixed. They replaced orings/gasket in the cooling lines. It's not as bad as it was though.
And oh yeah, still on original Continentals. Will get it replaced in a couple weeks because I know it will not pass the state safety inspection next month.
I've done all the oil changes. Last one was at 98k. Oil meter showed 25% left. Before that was at 87,926. I sent an oil sample from the last one for analysis. Will post here when the result comes in. I also did a trans drain and fill at 61k miles. Will do another one around 120k.
All in all, still loving my Maverick.
You got lucky.
The hardness, or wear on a tire varries A LOT from batch to batch of the same make and model. The rubber "recipe" is not always exactly the same. The raw ingredients going into the tire are not always exactly the same.
I've had a set go 80,000 miles and the next set, 25,000 miles (on a FWD Hybrid Escape). Got a huge pro-ration on that set. That's what tread-wear warranties are for. They (even the maker) can't tell how long the tire will last by looking at it.
Tires on my Mav look half gone at 15,000. Maybe it will slow. But probably not.
What PSI did you run?
