Mileage on RFTs

BBK · 11-20-2009, 11:57 PM

Just wondering what sort of mileage the average driver gets from the rear RFTs? No track driving...

When I took them off for my winters in the past month I noticed that the inside edge of the tread is getting close to the wear bars. I'm guestimating as I had winters on last winter as well so I figure they are at 15 to 16k kms.

Hmmmm... I've done 20k kms on my first set... But getting close to gone.

My rear RFT's started with 11/32" tread depth.
They now have about 4/32" on the right rear and 3/32" on the left rear.
Car is at 20,142 miles.
I will need to replace the rears soon.
FYI...the fronts started at 10/32" and are now at about 6 to 7/32".

Most of my driving is "non-aggressive" with only an occasional blast. No track time at all.

Sounds like pretty good mileage for a 135i. Maybe it's our MD roads, as the Goodyear NCT rears on my 128i (lots of highway driving) will be down to 3/32" at 24,000 miles. Like yours, the fronts should have about double that life.

18,800 current. Probably another 2-3k left on rears.... fronts are in great shape.
