The first tyre looks more like 7mm and the second closer to 6mm.
Good deal for someone wanting RFT's

Thanks Ahmed.

To be perfectly honest, I don't have a tread gauge, so tried to use a ruler and got just over 5mm all round. I didn't know how accurate that was however, so listed as 4mm.

Hi Chris,

Are they both identical matching tyres?

One looks to be RE050AI and the other RE050A, just looking for clarification please as I couldn't tell if one of the pics was the inner wall of the tyre and may carry a different label.

I know these 2 models are essentially the same tyre, (if not identical, but think AI is BMW specific branding maybe someone can clarify), but I am OCD when it comes to having them totally matching on the axle.

Thanks

James

Sorry James, but unfortunately these are now sold.

The tyre with 7mm is an RE050AI, the tyre with 6mm is RE050A. As you say, and from what I've read, they are essentially the same tyre with the I just being slightly newer.
