I know this is a vague question, but say if you have mix of city and highway driving, what is the normal average minimum and maximum tyre life you guys have seen on your E60's? Please contribute min, max, tyre make and model.

1. 25000
2. 30000
3. 35000
4. 40000
5. 45000
6. 50000

Thanks.

 

Due to the negative camber on my rear tires on my '05 545i they get far less than any of your choices. Front tires, depending on the brand / quality have been good for up to 30000 for me.

 

I think something is wrong with my fronts ones, they keep wearing off from inside than outside, annoying (wheel alignment did not help) and Indy's here in Oz are USELESS.

 

The last set of tires I had on my 545i -

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position (w/Oxygen)
Front: 40K Miles
Rear: 25K Miles

Current set -

Continental ExtremeContact DWS (w/Nitrogen)
Drove about 4K miles on them so far, and they feel much better than the Bridgestone's.

 

The first set of tires I had on my 2008 550i - bought it at 50,500 miles

Yokohama S-Drive (w/Oxygen)
Front - 34,000 miles with rotation
Rear - 24,000 miles with rotation

Current set -

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position (w/Oxygen)
Front: 4K Miles
Rear: 14K Miles, about to rotate

The Yokohama's sidewalls were to soft. The Bridgestones offer a better handling tire

 

Can't rotate staggered tires to extend life, unfortunately.

 

Has anyone had the problem where the front tyre's are wearing off from inside faster than the outside. I have had two changes of tyre's and wheel alignment was done on both sets of tire, but the front one keeps wearing off from inside. Is there something else wrong?

 

I had my right tire wear on the the inside but this was caused to be hitting a nasty pot hole. I just left the alignment alone since I would be changing soon. I was running Michelins PS2's and the front seem to get 35000 and rears ~ 25000. My problem with them is the tires get noisy well before its time to change and this noise drives me crazy!

 

33 K with all wheel rotation on my xDrive car... Goodyear Eagles.. the Tireshop said I can go another 5-8K on these tires.

 

I let my Pirellis stay on the car for abut 50k miles. I knew the fronts were getting bald on the outside at around 40k but figured I'd push it another 5-10k since the rears had good tread.

I knew about the negative camber on the rears but didn't realize how bad until one day I noticed a tan stripe on the tire which turned out to be the inner layer because the radial was peeling off.

I'd think that 25-35k would be about average but it depends on driving habits, etc..
