'24 M35i 20 inch wheel option excessive tire wear
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.

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) |

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. |
