I've had Continental ExtremeContact DWS for about 34K miles and just shy of three years. I like these tires for their low road noise and good handling in rain, snow, and ice. But I think these tires are soft and don't have the life expectancy due to all-wheel drive on the 328XI.

I was shown the tread wear as 3.85LF, 4.02RF, 2.94RR, 3.72LR. BMW doesn't recommend rotating tires and corrects uneven wear by alignment. My car seems to eat tires and I'm an easy driver. So, I get mine road-forced balanced and a four-wheel alignment annually - three times so far on these tires. They won't make the 50K as advertised by Continential, but I most likely buy another set of them.

Normal for a RWD BMW.

That's outstanding longevity for an all-season performance tire.

I get about half that on my Michelins --- must be the way I drive

Safety hazard, no doubt.

While most / all will say toss them now, any thoughts on how many more miles can I squeeze out of them, 1k, 2k?

Upsetting the rest of the tread looks so good. :|

Thanks.

Change immediately
I had exactly same thing happened to my tires
You need two things
New tires and alignment
