For those of you that have higher milage, how many miles did you get out of your stock Goodyears (I got the 17 inchers on my 535). I am just curious as I am at 22,500 miles and the tires look still pretty good. I am guessing they should last about 40 K?

40k?!?! Clearly you're not driving your car hard enough...

I know, just busting your chops! I had the Goodyear 17" tires on my old 545 (Eagle RSDA as I recall) and I think I got roughly 30k on them. They are good all season tires...

I just changed my rear bridgestone run flats at 26,000 miles (prob needed to be changed 2k miles ago though)...fronts still at 6-7/32!!! Not bad for Z rated tires.

I have about 30k on my Goodyear RSAs and I will change them this fall. They won't make it through another winter.

no matter what miles you done on them.
If you dont drive alot, then I would change them every 3 years because the rubber starts to harden and will not grip on wet roads.
