How long do 215/60 R17 tires last?

Across 39 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tires was worn out after 20,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 17,000 miles and 34,000 miles.

Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.

Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN 215/60 R17 Nissan Qashqai 9,000 miles October 28, 2026

Very satisfied.
Very nice grip (dry and wet)
Has significantly lowered consumption compared to previous tires(latitude cross), and dramatically more quiet

stock tire. exceptional wet handling but consumes 20 percent more under heavy rain. silent tire. i am not shure how these will act on ice. i do not expect miracles. these are summer tires.

Maxxis Razr AT S 215/60 R17 Suzuki 1.4 Allgrip 2,000 miles October 26, 2026

When driving on dry roads it feels very much like a regular road tire. But keep in mind that it does have a slightly higher rolling resistance than a regular touring tire. And despite the tire being named "sport" i would not treat it as a sporty tire. As soon as you push it, it gets very soft, it will tell you if you are close to the limits, but it feels terrible once you get to that point. Otherwise its a perfectly good tire.

Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV 215/60 R17 BMW X3 2.0d Sport 40,000 miles October 22, 2026

Initially not impressed...had a swift blowout type puncture in two weeks and a couple of others later on. Side walls seemed weak and easily damaged by the kerb. Ride comfort grip and noise levels were good as was economy. I also used them on proper African 4x4 tracks and they did very well.

Eventually right front had a slow leak I could not locate and given mileage I changed them for Falcon Wildpeak trails which are superb. Better comfort, durability and very little noise or increased fuel consumption.

Michelin Latitude Cross 215/60 R17 18,000 miles October 19, 2026

I had these tires on for a couple of years on a lifted AWD crossover that is used off-road a lot. I use winter tires in the winter so the Michelin Latitude Cross only did about 28k km before I changed them.
They were very good on roads (including at high speed, cornering in high speed, etc), and also very good on wet roads in the first year. In the second year the wet performance got worse (but still better than with dedicated AT tires). The tires did thousands of kilometers on (often rocky) trails, which was likely the reason for the deterioration; the shoulder had a lot of wear signs by year 2. That said, they still performed really well. They were surprisingly good off-road on pretty much any terrain (mediocre on mud, but great on dirt, grass, rocks). After two years they got pretty chewed up on a two week drive on extremely rocky terrain (larger loose rocks, sharp rocks, etc), so I had to get rid of them. (Swapped them for Yokohama Geolandar which, so far, are much worse in every respect.)
I'll get the Latitude Cross again next time. They were great on roads, much quieter than any AT tire, and very good off-road too (though they did wear down quickly due to frequent use on rocky trails).
I would certainly recommend them for a light vehicle that is used both on and off-road.

Continental EcoContact 7 215/60 R17 Hyundai Kona electric 18,000 miles October 7, 2026

These have been a good tire on my EV. Front tires lasted 18,000 before replacing. Backs still have over half their life left. I have replaced them with the from with the same again as they made a difference to range over the Goodyear efficient grip I previously had.

Kumho Ecsta PS71 215/60 R17 Kia Motors EV3 7,500 miles October 6, 2026

Good tires on dry road and less performant en wet.
The tires do not cope well with the torque of the electric car.
Tire life is catastrophic in moderately dynamic driving
