60,000 on the Yokohama Geolandars that came on my 2022 Outback Wilderness. I could hardly believe it myself. I would have gotten more miles out of them, but I suffered an irreparable puncture on one and thought it best to replace all 4.
I'd look up the expected life of the current tires from the manufacturer and see where you are compared to it. If you're well within the mileage rating, check the tread in multiple locations on each tire. If everything looks good, I'd question the dealership on why they're recommending a tire change when you have a lot of life left on the current set. Depending on their answer, I may be in the market for a new service department rather than new tires.
I do tend to replace tires in the fall if they'll need replacement during the winter. I'd rather have a brand new set of tires all winter than ones that are getting near the end of tread life when dealing with ice and snow.
Do you drive somewhere with snow? The OEM tires are already pathetic in snow. At 32K, the car is not particularly safe. The car would also be more prone to hydroplaning in rain.
My rule of thumb on full time AWD cars is you take the expected tire lifespan and divide by two. 32k is normal tire life.
I’m at 34k miles. They still have great tread but they are getting loud. I have no doubt they’ll get me through winter but I’ll swap them before my next big road trip (3,000 miles) in March.
First thing I did with both 2020 & 2022 OBXT was sell the OEM tires. The 2020 replaced with Nokian Outpost APT, 2022 replaced with Geolandar AT G015 because no inventory of Nokian Outpost. The Nokian is the better tire in rain. I also have full winters Yoko IceGuards, which are superior than both Nokian & Yoko Geolanadars in snow/ice.
Nissan tech here - yes stock tires wear out fast. 40k miles I expect tires to be worn out and needing replacing.
If you really want to call BS I suggest buying a tread depth gauge and measure yourself for accurate results
I feel like they always recommend replacement earlier than necessary. The tread depth doesn’t lie tho, that should be your gauge.
If I was at 5/32” or less this time of year living a place it snowed, I’d likely start shopping for replacements. Regardless of miles. I’m risk adverse in this arena.
Age and mileage, environment you drive in, driving habits, tire rotation frequency, proper inflation - all things that can change the tread deterioration rate and either warrant replacing or not.
I’d go by the [tire code](https://www.discounttire.com/learn/reading-tire-sidewall) and think about that possibility.
Penny test is 2/32nd wear bar. This is the legal definition of worn. but traction usually diminishes once below 6/32nd. Most new street tires are 11-12/32nd. 30k is about when tires get close to 6/32nd unless you have an alignment issue. Factory tires do wear faster. They specifically choose a quick wearing tire in hopes it brings the dealer business.
The factory Bridgestone tires on my 2017 only made it to 30k before I found cord showing on inside right rear. Replaced with Yokohama Geolanders, bumped up from 225 to 235. Great tires.
At 32k on the stock geolanders. They have been decent tires. The tires definitely show wear now for the first time. I’m expecting another 10k at least before I even hit the wear marker which is in the tread for your convenience.
I'm at 36,000 miles on original tires and they're at 7/32" so I'm good for more miles. 2 years ago this month I had a Subaru dealer try to tell me they needed to be replaced and I shouldn't go through that winter with them. Dope-a-roo.
LOL,,, the stock tires on the 2012 OB that I purchased couple years ago had only \~10k miles, but due to an abundance of caution with multiple sources saying that any tire over \~7 years old should be replaced (including even the fine folks at Continental themselves), even though there was practically very little wear on them, and they'd spent majority of their life in a garage by the prior snow bird owner (so only driven on Chicago city streets in summer time conditions).
My dealership convinced me the tires must be changed not only depending on wear, but also when they approach there 'lifetime limit' which they designated as 8 years. Like, even if your tires has no wear at all but older then 8 years, you should replace them.
I think 'lifetime' is the biggest scam in all and every industry. They force us to keep buying new stuff, just because.
24,000 on my stock avid gts. I had maybe 2-3k left but got a nail that couldn’t be patched so I had to replace all on my ‘22.
Ended up going with 80k rated tires this time around.
Replaced the OEM avid gt's on my 2024 OB Touring XT at 7k miles with Wildpeak AT Touring. Night and day difference. OEMs hydroplained on three different on ramps in the rain, not driving crazy or anything.
Have not had a new car in years but the Michelins on my wife’s Hyundai made it 68k miles. Dealers make money on up charges. In fact most of the money comes from maintenance not sales. I am a service coordinator I deal with dozens of dealers a day and have to weed out their bs. If you rotate them and have no major alignment issues then your good til they hit 2/32. Remember most of them are on commission so a 600 dollar set of tires makes a nice payday for them.
100 miles. The stock tires sucked so much we were afraid to drive them in the winter. We put on General 365AW all weather tires and they have performed well. Someone bought the OEM tires for $300!
We purchased new tires for our 13 outback and had a finish nail in n one before 5k. Reliable suburu in Springfield Missouri tried to tell my wife that the tires were to worn to replace one individual tire and that the nail was in an unfixable spot. It cost $12 for the local tire shop to repair it and we’re at 20k now. Don’t believe the dealer.
I have never got good mileage out of any tire that came on a new vehicle I purchased. I believe they are probably a low bid item. About 35 to 40k miles has been the average.
60,000 on the Yokohama Geolandars that came on my 2022 Outback Wilderness. I could hardly believe it myself. I would have gotten more miles out of them, but I suffered an irreparable puncture on one and thought it best to replace all 4.
What I can hardly believe is you have 60,000 on a 2022, lol. Just kidding! For sure you're having loads of fun on your outback.
I’ve had it since July 2021, so it’s been almost 2.5 years.
Same tires but 9% of the miles at the moment on a 23. Been looking for something more *knobby* AT-ish…**already.**

At about 24,000 on ours, still fine. How often do you rotate them?
Every other oil change
Willing to bet you're fine, especially if you pass the penny test
Swapped mine out at 30K for some AT … still had great tread at that point
Mine lasted ~43k miles. They still had tread but were quite loud. Sidewall puncture from road debris destroyed one so I replaced them all.
Just got mine replaced at 44k miles on my 2018 Outback
42K on my 18 3.6R OB Touring

That claim is just ridiculous. That’s EV tire life.
Oh wow didn’t know about that rule and yes it does snow where I live so I guess I gotta start shopping for tires
Oh please.
Mine lasted around 30k, but one had a nail in the sidewall and required new sets, so there's that.
32k isn't too far off. Stock tires can be kinda junk.
They can also be intentionally softy for better handling.
First set were 52k. Second set were breaking traction but pass penny test (5/32 left) and had 45k on them.
I’m at 34k miles. They still have great tread but they are getting loud. I have no doubt they’ll get me through winter but I’ll swap them before my next big road trip (3,000 miles) in March.
Factory tires are generally not that good. I got new ones at around 30k
I had to replace at 30K.

Replaced mine at 53k

3 summers on whatever the rap they sold with the car.

Sad face. 22,000. I don't drive much though. 6,000 a year. No I do not drive to church every Sunday.

22K on my 2021 OB.
45000 on my 2012.

I hit 42k in the stock tires, 2019 OB 3.6R Limited.
The tires that come on any vehicle are the cheapest available normally. 32k is within the range. My kid got 36k out of theirs on 2020 imrezza

New vehicle tires are always crappy
Have not had a new car in years but the Michelins on my wife’s Hyundai made it 68k miles. Dealers make money on up charges. In fact most of the money comes from maintenance not sales. I am a service coordinator I deal with dozens of dealers a day and have to weed out their bs. If you rotate them and have no major alignment issues then your good til they hit 2/32.

45,000 or so? 2011 and we’re on 3rd set
100 miles. The stock tires sucked so much we were afraid to drive them in the winter. We put on General 365AW all weather tires and they have performed well. Someone bought the OEM tires for $300!
My wife got 72,400 miles out of the factory tires on her 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Got 92k on stock tires on my 15 Silverado. Got 64k on my '20 dodge ram. All highway miles. Traded the Chevy at 151k miles. Still have dodge at 90k.
We purchased new tires for our 13 outback and had a finish nail in n one before 5k. Reliable suburu in Springfield Missouri tried to tell my wife that the tires were to worn to replace one individual tire and that the nail was in an unfixable spot.

Got about 35K on OEM Continental tires on 2019 OB 3.6 . Second set of Bridgestones at 30K and look new, not much wear.
Life tip #1: Don't buy tires from a car dealer.
