How long do u m5 drivers tyres last?

[pyro225]

i have an m5 and my rear tyres lasted 1 month or 1500 miles however you put it... very aggressive driving, and am calming it now but really want to gaughe how long they should last i use michelin or contis..

1500 is impressive, i put 4k supercharged miles and i wasnt even at half tread. you should reevaluate your driving habits.

I got about 10K out of my old s/c'ed Vette (503rwhp / 649ftlb) tires and I drove that thing like I stole it. :evil2

Even if youre using soft compound street tires they should last more than 1500 miles. Are you doing burn-outs or spinning your tires every change you get??? What tires are you using?

well that set were dunlop 3000s and that month was pretty much raining everyday so i got a few wheel spins each day... but had dsc on...

I need to call my broker and tell him to get me some rubber stocks.

If the roads were wet you couldnt have been driving your M5 to the limit....how the hell did you go through rear tires in a month on wet roads??

That doesnt sound right at all......:conf

i dont know :-S i drive 30000 miles a year... and i thrsh it a bit, im on mys second set of tyres and they are going down quickly too im at about 4mm now... do you think i tracking could be an issue? or any other issue apart from my driving?

I think he meant 15,000 not 1,500

Get an alignment and slow down speed racer.

[BimmerBreaker]

Adjust your rear toe to as close to 0 as you can

Even with these cars sets should easily last 10,000+... 1,500 is ridiculous and no amount of hard driving should wear down a good set of tires that fast. Especially in wet, when loss of grip will cause a slower wear of tires

[pyro225]

no i did mean 1500... hmm ok ill get alignment done in my 535 they lasted 18k no probs...

[MA3HOK]

yeah, your alignment is probably off..
