yeh i took them off at around 9500 miles give or take a few hundred?
i think cos i do mostly town driving that wears more - start and stop driving and the added torque doesnt help? i dont drive like miss daisy nor do i drive like DXB burning out everywhere. i think 10k isnt too bad for a set of RFT rears like that on a 335i? so u think i mgiht get a few thou. out of the rears still? just debating whether i shud just bin them? tanks |

I understand my 320d couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding compared to a 335 !! but I have now done 31,000 miles on the original set and expect to do 40k as I did on the previous E91

Look at the shoulders on the rears, showing fairly heavy wear, I would bin them. I always change tyres early as they can get fairly soft when nearing the end of life and tread can disappear in a very short time.
