Hi

Sofar ca. 17 000 km without any problems. For our rough road conditions maybe not the best choice, but
the tires technically have been totally problemfree.

Hi,

New member, so be gentle with me!

I bought my 535d touring used with 13,000 miles on the clock and the dealer tried to sell it with two worn out rear tyres. Whoever had it before me certainly had fun!

Got em, 1700 miles and no problems and plenty of tread.
I heard bad things from others about RFTs, in the rain but I just drove from Montreal to NYC in a blistering storm and they handled superbly.

With all the torque the 535d is producing, you can easily burn the rear tire out by turning the DTC off.

How about the front?
