13k? Did you burn your tires every time u run your car, or even right after the stop in front of the stop sign ?

i drive aggressively. it wouldn't be farfetched to say that it hits redline at least every other drive.

but no, i don't do donuts or drifts. only when it's wet out and the settings are perfect (basically maybe once every other month for no more than ten minutes) would i care to try sliding around.

these tires have a horrible tread rating (140).

same here; 11,000 miles (approx 18,000 km) and the rears were done.

SA told me to expect 25-30k, that sounded kinda high. The number in my head was 20k....when I did the Ultimate Driving Experience when the E90 330's first came out, they said they changed the tires every 50 miles as Bridgestone provided them.

LOLrance · 11-05-2008, 05:26 AM

a little over 10,000 miles.

Deda · 11-05-2008, 05:34 AM

strange,i drove over 40000 miles in 4 years in my x3.

Dann902 · 11-05-2008, 12:32 PM

My OEM Bridgestone RFTs lasted 29,000 miles.

patrickleung · 11-05-2008, 01:20 PM

wow...... it really varies a lot..... how much do you think i can drive with 6/32" tread left?

Year's_End · 11-05-2008, 03:43 PM

basically, if you drive aggressively, don't expect more than 15k out of your back tires.

Year's_End · 11-05-2008, 03:45 PM

and KEEP THEM PROPERLY INFLATED. the sidewalls wear ridiculously fast if they're low on air. i made that mistake on my first set of tires.

i'm on my third set now and finally made the decision to go with non-RFTs. so much better, and the tread wear rating is DOUBLE that of the RFTs (140 > 380).

40 minutes after I picked up my car and sold them about 3 hours later. So 3.4 miles...
