How many miles do you think i might get out of the runflats?

Top pic is fronts, bottom pic is rears

fronts have 6-7mm tread depth at the centre, rears have just over 4.5mm at the centre.

chars guys

mine have about the same at 20,000 but the insides of the rears have excessive wear and while the centres would probably last another 5 i doubt the insides will last another 2 how hard do yoi drive?

well ive had the above tyres on for around 9500 miles...

i do very little motorway driving tho.

9500 miles?????

I guess you're an enthusiastic driver?

My rears, I think are going to last just about 6K miles - Dunlop SPs 285/25/192.

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?

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

It all depends how your driving style is....

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.
