    Really bad tire wear on 640

    We have a 2015 640 GC with fairly large wheels and run flat tires. The original factory ones lasted about 20k. Then they started failing.

    The last was in 10k miles - two rear tires worn out, 2 front tires both had bubbles and probably broken belts - hit only minor potholes.
    Makes me want to sell the car - too much to pay just to drive. 4 new tires every 10k miles. NO.

    Only one tire choice in our size - Dunlop.

    So, thinking about getting a 540 with non runflat tires maybe MIchelin or Goodyear.

    Any ideas? Quick before I blow up the stinking thing.
    Best motoring,
    Peter
