Hard to burn through tires on an XI driving around town.... I am certain DC cops would love to pull me over...

I turned in my 2007 525xi with 49,000 miles on the original Conti runflat tires, which had a lot of life remaining.

RFT are hard to ware out.
I think the rubber get harder and the tred will never ware out

i barely hit 10k and my tires are gone

My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi Grey/Grey Budapest 18" Lost to HPFP issues: 08 535i sport pkg Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks: 07 E61 530Xi

I got 18k on my Dunlop RFTs on my 535 with sport package... the rears really needed to be changed out at like 14-15000 miles, the fronts still had good tread on them and I had them reinstalled when I turned the car back in.
