I mean putting only 21k on the car, maybe you wouldn't have had to replace tires anyway, but still.
Am curious about which tires it had. My guess is that they were shitty partly because VW was trying to do whatever it could to reduce rolling resistance (and thus extend the eGolf's terribly short range). Fixing the tires might have made the range problem a lot worse.
