OEM Tire Life.

Ryan 330i · 10-14-2006, 07:13 PM

my car has 10k on it. I have the 18" 162's with the OEM run-flats.
I am noticing that the tires already are wearing rather quickly. I am going to take an accurate tread depth measurment on Monday when my shop opens at work, but I am guessing I can only get about another 10k out of them, if that... anyone with high mile E90's have advice... or notice that theirs are wearing quickly as well?

Plenty of meat left on mine after about 14,700 miles.
I drive pretty hard most of the time as well.

I haven't re-adjusted the tire pressure yet for the colder weather and
I'm afraid that after that I might begin to see some rapid wear.

27000 on mine and good tread left, but I only put about between 400-500 miles a month on my car.

I want to know too.

For those of you with high mileage OEMs, how would you rate the performance of the Bridgestones? I may rethink my plans to dump the OEMs and get 19" non-rft.

My guess is that the roads here in Italy are just better...no potholes for one...highways are like glass...most wear comes from the back roads (which are not crowned)....if you don't believe me I can send pics...also, I drive the speed limit here which is 87 mph....

Hey Ryan, I have over 14K on my car and my tires are still holding up well. I would guess I have another at least 10K more on them.

Stressdoc, For RF's the RE050A's are pretty good performance tires, but at a 140 treadwear rating, they should be sticky!

I have about 15k on mine and other than the cupping issues I have a lot of tread left.
