F10, 19" wheels, tyre mileage?
Evening all.
Contemplating tyres. I have done nearly 30k miles on my original tyres, and I have noticed that the outer edges on the front tyres are a little scrubbed down, although 90% of the tread has a few more mm to the markers. Is 30k miles good? It is compared to my Lotus, but that is slightly different and wanted to know other peoples experience/mileage got.

I'm on 20000 miles so far on mine with still plenty of wear remaining.
Obviously depends how you drive it and tyres you have. I have a Michellin Primacy on my 19" wheels. |

33,000 and my rear left (19" run flat Goodyear excellence) let go Friday night. I figured it was a puncture since there was still several mm tread visible, but when the wheel was removed I could see the inside tread was long gone.
Tyre fitter told me this is what he sees on 5 series; inner wear on the rear and outer wear on the front and it's not a tracking issue, it's just the way they wear. I assume he knows what he is talking about. |

My own tyre wear on the 535i, 18" Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR, about 20,000 miles for the set. I've never rotated tyres on a BMW before, but as this car has same size on all corners, decided I'd do so as an experiment and see if there were any driving negatives, also see if wear could be better controlled both front and rear. I did manage to run them down pretty even, and replaced with around 3mm. The inner edges on the rear (when I changed tyres) were just getting knocked off as I'd expect and experienced with BMW over the years. You also have to be careful with pressures, to get a balance of wear. I have always set pressures to balance inner and centre wear on the rears, outer and centre wear on the fronts. Run too low and inner rear wear simply accelerates. Here is an example of a rear tyre off of my 330d. Note how the inner edge (foreground) is wearing due to camber, the wear towards the outside of the tyre from the toe setting. HighlandPete |

26000 on mine from new and rears about due for swapping. Plenty left on front. That said I am not always accelerating away and slamming on the brakes.
Does anyone swap front for rear their tyres anymore like the good old days to give even wear??
