Tire suggestion for 06 325 xi
I need some suggestions for tires. I have an 06 325xi sport package with 17 inch rims. I would like to stay with runflat tires but with more of a passenger style compared to the sport.
I get less 20,000 miles out of the oem Conti SSR and the Khumo Ecsta and I do not drive hard. (My tire place may be ripping me off but that's another story) Is there anything out there that is going to get 40,000 miles? |

how are your tires wearing out?
center or edges first? |

They seem to be wearing evenly. It just seems once a year the tire center says I need new tires, or at least one pair. He says its because I'm using low profile tires. So I'm looking for a different tire.
I don't drive aggressive but would still like a little sporty performance. Last edited by Mike128; 08-18-2012 at 05:34 PM. |

If you're able to rotate the tires and keep up on the air pressures, you should be able to get 40,000 miles out of many all-season tires. In 225/45R17 many like the Continental Extreme Contact DWS, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus, and Kumho 4X.
