I've driven my 23 EUV barely over 18k miles and Discount Tire is telling me my front tires are down to 4/32 and the rears are at 5/32 and it's time to replace at least the front ones. That seems pretty low, even for the OEM LRR Michelins. But does that match you guys's experience? Also DT is recommending the LRR yokohamas which go for $160 per tire.
4/32 of an inch is a bit over 3 mm. It's my understanding that the replacement tread depth is 2 mm. Check out the tread wear indicators on the tire to see if they've become flush with the tread.
