At that rate, I'd get at least 30k miles front and 20k rear. That's amazing! I must be driving like a pussy, but I didn't think so! Must be EDC! If they get down near the start of Winter, I would replace them at 4/32".
I'm thinking my set should be good for at least 20k miles. Perhaps one of the reasons for the less wear is all the cool wet weather in the PNW. Pretty much from end of Oct until early April the weather does not permit driving the car hard unless asking for trouble. I think most of my wear has come from the 3-4 drives I took the car on with other BMW enthusiasts/buddies up here lol.
