Mileage on RFT?

What is the average mileage on the OEM RFT?

There are a few different tires that come with these cars, I've had a few sets of Bridgestone 050's and I've gotten about 12k out of the rears before I noticed excessive slipping on my 135 and 335. They lasted a little longer on my 325.

I have the OEM Dunlops and currently at 22k - still lots of life left. I guess I'm too easy on my tires!

I had the bridgestones, they were starting dry rot after 4 years at 35K miles still had a ~50% tread left. Had to replace because they got an unpatchable flat.

Your mileage will vary depending on where, what and how you drive.

Had OEM RFT Potenza 050's on an E91 for about 58k miles.

Absolutely agree. Also the model of tire can play a big factor.

BTW 58k on the Potenza RE050 is amazing.

Thank you, one and all, for your comments.

I have some mileage remaining on the RFT but decided to go to Michelin now.

Average? About the distance between the dealership and a tire shop that sells real tires.
