How long have your tires lasted you?

haig · 12-07-2009, 12:28 AM

i have an 08 e92 with Oem 19's, and already in need of new rear tires, after 8500 miles! No, im not a foolish driver, just like to have fun once in a while. Is this considered normal?

Gyoung · 12-07-2009, 12:39 AM

Only after 8500mi?

mPlasticDesign · 12-07-2009, 12:51 AM

Not only is this not normal, considering the driving habits you described, but it's impossible. Especially when you consider the first 1,200-2000 were spent breaking in the car properly.

Oh, it's quite possible. One track day on mile 2,001 will take care of those rears quickly.

MrHarris · 12-07-2009, 03:33 AM

Nitto INVO's... 10k miles and the rears were gone. The fronts still had 50% though.

GTM · 12-07-2009, 04:42 AM

The stock PS2 seems like it can last about 15,000mile.

It seems like you are running pretty hard!

Only if you can't drive. I put 3 track days on my PS2s and still got 20k miles out of them.

To the OP, you may have rear toe issues. Check to make sure your rear alignment does not have too much toe-in. Even being at the upper limit of BMW recommended range might be too much. I had my car aligned shortly after delivery to make sure I had settings I wanted.

A lot of city driving on concrete surfaces could take down a set of PS2s pretty quickly, also.

10,100 miles and my original rears are still okay.

You are wrong and besides please read the OP before posting, he said he "likes to have fun once in a while" no metion of track day.

niqui · 12-07-2009, 09:39 AM

i am stunned...stock ps2s are done in one summer of normally driving with 1 track event... about 12ooo kms...

808MGuy · 12-07-2009, 09:48 AM

I have about 18k miles on my OEM PS2s. Got maybe about 5k miles left. Still searching for a replacement that will last a little longer without compromising too much on performance, comfort, and noise.

M3V8Driver · 12-07-2009, 09:24 PM

My OEM PS2s went bye-bye at 6700 miles, which included six days spent at tracks. There pictures on another thread in this forum, showing the different laters of cords. I didn't mind. The car is meant to have fun. Besides, it gave me an excuse to try some different tires.

saeedg48 · 02-20-2010, 11:27 AM

I went through my first set in 10,000K but I use my first gear all the way through 5.5K RPM to smoothly kick my into second.

Now that I'm at 17,500K It looks like I need new fronts(soon) and rear(in 1.5K).

Alias · 02-20-2010, 12:03 PM

11k for the rears

fronts could of probably gone till 20-25k, but i switched brands so there sitting in the garage

sym16 · 02-20-2010, 12:17 PM

stock PS2's with 8000 miles and about half worn. At this pace I should get 15000.

GT3 Tim · 02-20-2010, 07:55 PM

I got 8500 so far on the stockers. I am pretty suprised.

On my GT3, I would get about 4000 miles out of the rears and double that on the fronts. I would suspect I could get close to 12-15K out of the M3's rear PS2's, minus any track duty, which will commence soon! lol

808MGuy · 02-20-2010, 08:32 PM

I'm at 22k now. Looks like I still got a few thousand more to go.

Krozi · 02-20-2010, 08:38 PM

I got about 19k on mine...gonna replace them at 20k...

sehrgut · 02-20-2010, 09:40 PM

People people if you go square setup yo can rotate when the rears are starting to wear down

chd2 · 02-20-2010, 09:45 PM

I have the stock 19's with the PS2's and my fronts look great....but the rears at 9500mi are close to the TWI's. Especially on the inside part of the contact patch. I do drive it hard, and I have tracked it. I would guess from watching them over time, I will make it to 13k or so. Fronts should easily last me to 20k.

lebreeze · 02-20-2010, 10:55 PM

2700km and my rears are completely bald

Dannys M3 · 02-21-2010, 07:12 AM

Just changed mine out after 26,500 miles for Vredestein.
