I've never had performance tires on any car I have owned. How many miles can I reasonably expect to get from the summer tires?

20-25k if you don't trash it

That is surprisingly good. I have been told by various people that I MIGHT get 10k out of them!

Yeah front tires will do 20 or so.

Rears expect to replace every 10k

Even the P Zeros that aren't supposed to have as good of life?

Best strategy is tell yourself 10k then drive it without reservation... then you won't be disappointed. If you aim for 25k you might find yourself actually attempting to save the tires at the expense of driving fun

Unless you have waited for Xdrive
Then you will be changing all 4 everytime you wear the rears and binning perfectly fine fronts...

Wait why would you have to do that?

The diameter of all 4 tires must stay within 1-2% of each other for xdrive to work.

Given we are talking about roughly 6-7mm here, why would you also change the fronts with the rears? Is the difference in worn rears (3mm) and half worn fronts (6mm) more than half worn fronts (6mm) and new rears (9mm)?

Are you sure that applies to xDrive?

I was told this years ago about Subaru AWD but I have never had a problem replacing tires as needed in BMWs with xDrive.


I got 14k out of the rears and 25k on the fronts on my F80. Those were PSS.

I'm estimating I'll get 14-15k out of both front and rear PS4S on my G20.

Will be happy if I get more than 10k out of the rears on my G80.

My all time record was 40k out of the OE Michelin Latitude tires that came with my X5.

Yep it does
