Greetings guys and gals.

Question: How long did your tires last you? RWD or AWD? Just a curious question, I know responses will vary.

I personally am almost at 15,000 miles with Michelin PS4S, and will try to take them up another few thousand miles before getting them swapped.

RWD, Pirellis and I got 6k out of the rears before they were at the bars. I replaced them all with PS4S instead of just getting new rears

Tbh the PZeros were fine and in hindsight I should have just replaced the rear Pzeros. I noticed no appreciable difference in grip btw the 2 in agressive street driving.

I'll be lucky if my ps4s rears last more than 6k miles. Winter's last longer since I do not (cannot) drive as aggressively with them.

I wonder if xDrive car tires last longer.. I had Pirelli Cinturatos on my B8.5 S4 and they lasted me 25k miles

In my experience, it is all how you drive. My last 2 xDrive BMWs were not much better than the previous RWDs. Maybe because BMW xDrive is still more rear biased!

True, I didn't drive extremely aggressively, I did push them a little. It had 60 Rear and 40 Front split, maybe I just drive like grandpa

M4C with PS4S is too new to estimate. That said just changed all 4 Michelin PSS 255X35X19 & 275X35X19 on my Z4 M40i @ 16,500 miles.





Other rear tire was changed at a BMW store after a flat on the highway & a flat bed ride a few days before the rest.

Did you notice more center wear on the rears? Or more wear toward the edges of the tire? And, what cold PSI are you running in the tires?

Wear was very even across the entire width of the tire, pressures at door panel reco for under 100mph, I believe that is 33f/34r.

Another anecdotal observation - the Pzeros were a little better at damping sharp impacts than the PS4S.

Yup…

P-Zero definitely has a more compliant ride… gives up a little in flat out grip.

How on earth are so many people running through rears at 6k on the street? Is everyone doing jackrabbit starts and smashing the throttle around corners?

I did a canyon run last weekend and wasn't lacking for grip on the p zeros. Sounds like they're a good compromise of comfort and grip for daily driving duty.

Does the car have much negative camber from the factory?

Idk, rear wheel drive is def a factor and I am also in Florida our roads are mostly concrete which is very abrasive. Oh and the heat here. Poof, wear bars at 6k.
