I have a '24 M35i with the 20 inch wheel option. Pirelli P Zero 245/40/20 size tires (not run flats). It would have been nice if BMW let you know these particular tires do NOT have a mileage warranty. Also, these tires start out at 8/32nds of tread depth instead of the normal 10/32nds or 11/32nds of tread depth. So you start out at a roughly 25% deficit on tread depth. I'm 9k miles in and the tires are down to a little under 5.5/32nds.. That's FORTY PERCENT OF THE USABLE TREAD gone in 9K MILES. These tires will be pretty much useless at 18k miles (maybe less). You buy a near 60k car with tires that will need to be replaced in a little over 1 year. Absolutely ridiculous considering replacement tires are $300+ each.

I've been using P Zero tires for almost 25 years.(Mercedes, BMW, Acura and VW, sizes 17"/18"/20" in 30 to 45 aspect ratios) P Zero has evolved over the years. They were all non-runflat summer tires and all had 8/32 tread when new.(listed in the specs, as well as measured using my own tread gauge) It doesn't even matter if they came with the cars or ordered as replacement tires from Tire Rack or local tire shops. They all had only 8/32.

Needless to say, all P Zero tires wear off pretty fast, compared to similar tires from other brands. That's what they are designed to do. Looking at the logs I kept for 4 different cars, the P Zero tires lasted anywhere from 10500 miles to 19000 miles.(but again, I fully expected that)

You're talking about a performance tire that is designed for max grip on a dry road. That means it's going to be a "stickier" compound, which also translates to quicker wear. Performance tires are not designed to last 30K miles. My X1m35 came with Continental tires (20-inch wheels and compound brakes) and I hate them. They also are showing little wear. I'd be SO much happier with P Zero tires and also happy to replace them at 15K miles - probably with another set of P zeros. However, that doesn't mean your concern is "wrong" - just that what you received is not what you expected. Good luck in finding a good solution.

I have the same tyres. I’ve only done a few hundred miles since I got my car so haven’t had chance to measure the wear yet. However 18k miles out of a set of performance tyres sounds about right to me, and on point with previous cars that have had similar tyres (my Golf R needed new tyres at 20k).

I’ve also never seen a car with tyres that have a mileage warranty, there are far too many variables to guarantee tyres last a certain number of miles.
