I've just got to 11K. I guess I should check to see how much is left.

I must admit rear tyre wear is dependant on your right foot pressure on load pedal,, I have only do 1,500 miles on the E60 so I am not sure how well the run flats are wearing.

On my old E46 330Ci i got 46,000 miles before changing the rear tyres they were down to the wear indicators which was 3mm as per German standard. The fronts were still going strong when I traded in the car at 62,000. I am sure the rears were in excellent shape as well, although I had replaced both due to punctures.

Welcome Gulo Luscus!

I have spent some time at the track so I can't really say anything about NORMAL tyre wear.

I've got 11,500miles and the rear nearside is about 0.5mm and the rear offside 1mm (too many roundabouts with the DSC off ). Fronts are about 2mm.

Just got a pair of PZeros delivered yesterday to replace the Dunlop RFT's. I'm hoping for a few more miles from these.

Mine lasted about 11k also. I've justed ordered an E90 330i, hopefully it will be a bit easier on the tyres as it has much less torque than the 530d.

My orignal Dunlop runflats lasted 11,000. I have changed to Michelin Pilot Primacy and they have some way to go yet after another 11,000 miles.
