Had my hybrid Astra for nearly 2 years now, done around 25000 miles and just had my 6th tyre change in that time.
I know that electric cars are slightly heavier so more wear is to be expected, and the roads around me are pretty shocking, but our tyre indicator light is continuously coming on and our tyres are dropping pressure.
I am inflating the tyres nearly every week, sometimes more when I’m travelling longer journeys.
Has anyone else had issues with tyres?
Tyred of it
In the less than 2 years we’ve had it, 6 tyres have been replaced. Main issue to replace the tyres is sidewall damage both inside and outside the wheel, and there’s been evidence of ‘under inflation’ on the drivers front tyre at a recent vehicle inspection.
I’ve booked it into a Vauxhall garage again, hoping they can see if there’s an underlying cause. Still under warranty so anything other than tyres should be fixable.
