Tires: i vs. xdrive

E90Enthusiast · 12-09-2012, 05:41 PM

I'm curious what everyone has to say about tread life on rwd vs. xdrive models. Anyone have experience owning both? Noticeably less tread life and more frequent tire rotations with rwd?

RWD eats rears. For those of us with the e9x's and sport package, tires are staggered and often directional, so rotation isn't even possible. $$$

Yep, now I buy two instead of four at a time!
