100,000 miles on FEH Tires
 
My 2008 FEH is about to hit 100,000 miles, and all four original tires just passed an inspection.

Is this common? These are the Continental Eco-Plus tires, but I believe that my particular tires were discontinued years ago.

Anyone else have such high or higher mileage on their tires?

I got 91,000 miles out of the oem Continental tires that originally came on our 2007 FEH. They were noisy but lasted forever...

Those tires have issues, i.e. horrible road noise, but tread life is great.

Yes, I have read other owners saying that the tire noise is really bad, and I do hear it when I listen.

But, because I'm so used to it, its not an issue for me.

What tire pressure are you guys running? And what is your tire rotation protocol?

I have never paid much attention to the tire pressure, as I know that it has automatic warning sensors. I did have to check once, when a low pressure warning appeared, but it was exactly what the car's spec label said.

The tires are rotated by the Ford dealer every 6-7,000 miles when I have the oil changed and the car looked over.
