Average mileage for rft

The past 5 sets on my E90s, I got only 20-25K Km. At 70% wear! they get noisy, the compound harden and you will start seeing parts of the thread breaking off. Uneven wear will start to show and it's looses grip especially in the wet. It's an average of one year one set for me.
 
My GY RFT coming up to 25k soon and still in good shape. Maybe I didn't drive hard enough.

True. On my previous e90, i managed to reach 35k, with abt 30% left thread, so thoretically can be legally used for quite a few mor kms. But changed them already due to its effect on the steering, The steering became twitchy at high speeds and yes, car became so noisy. But i love those Bridgestones still. Had 3 sets of those ;)
 
After 25k the rubber starts to get bit hard, uncomfortable and noisy.. you gotta watch out on wet roads as well.. tried using my first set till sidewall rupture at 45k..currently clocked 40k on my 2nd set without any problems...changing out soon..

So basically can use till 40k without any problems if you dont bother on the noise and harsher ride.. also no rempit when tyre is bad..

Like that I must check my tyres Liao. Don't really like to bend down and check tyre. If cannot rempit then I rather change tyre. Hahaha
