Just wondering about how many miles I can expect to get on a set of tires? I realize it varies depending on a lot of things...just trying to get an idea. My buddies E39 540 got about 20K miles, my E34 got about 60K miles...my 911 gets about 6K miles...

My Ride: 2013 535i (White with Oyster Interior. Premium Package, Navigation, Technology Pacakge, Park Distance Control, and Rear View Camera)
I have the original 18" Bridgestones RFT. I thought they will only last 20,000 miles.
I have more than 25,000 miles on them so far, and I think it will last another 5000 miles easily.
75% highway / 25% local.

I was within about 100 miles of 20,000 on my Dunlop RFTs before I had them swapped under the TSB. I think I could have done another 20K on them, but I drive a lot of highway miles and really try to keep the inflation pretty consistent.

It depends on your driving style .
My PS2 have 12k miles and they are going to the end .
80% highway .

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
I have the Conti's with 40 large on them.....I think I can get another 5 or 6 out of them with no significant problems.
