What? Rear Tires Bold At 13k miles
Its crazy, 13k miles on my 335i and the right rear has a big patch on the inside of the tire showing the cord, left rear almost there. I found this out after the right rear went flat. What really makes me mad is that the car was service less than 1,200 miles ago, oil change and BMW PE installed and no mention of the tire's condition. It seem the tech would have notice it while under the car. I was hoping for at least 20-25k miles.LOL
Will a little wider tire like 275/30/19 wear better than the 255's? Can the camber angle be change? Any suggestions welcome. Since I'm a paraplegic I want to keep the run-flats.

The alignment was done at 5k miles by a BMW dealer, car drove in a straight line. But I'll have them check it.

I go through rears every 9k miles runflat or not and that is all I expect from a summer tire. My DOT competition tires were good for around 5k miles!

Thank you all for your input. I thought about getting rid of the RFT's but like I said, I'm a paraplegic and being able to drive to a tire shop is needed.
My 07 Charger with 450 rwhp has a staggered set-up with some camber and my rear Nitto Invo tires (315/35/20) on 20x10.5 rims lasted 20k miles with a full day of autocross and 10+/- trips to the drag strip, plus spirited driving with WOT every time she goes out. The stock rear tires were 255/45/20 on 20x9 rims. This is why I was wondering if 275's in the rear may help some as far as inner wear of the tires. If not, I guess I'll be buying rear tires every 10k miles or so.LOL

And RFT's should last longer than 13k. I'd recheck alignment.

As for the run flats, they lasted well over 20k for me.. the only reason I changed them was because I got sick of hard ride, so I did about 2 weeks of donuts on a daily basis and a big burn out til they blew. Had I not done that, I'm pretty sure they'd last 30k miles.

The 335i convertible is my 1st BMW and so far I love it. Its a fun ride and alot better mpg, even when playing around hard. The PPK1 and PE are the only mods I'm doing to her. I love driving with the top down just not crazy about the rear tire wear.LOL I would be happy with 20k miles out of them.

I've heard of these tires running out as quick as yours. Really depends your alignment and driving style. Stop doing burnouts! :P
