Tyre wear

29000 miles out of my fronts (218i) and still got 2mm on them. Never had a car go easy on tyres like this. I'm on the factory Goodyear's - how's everyone else fairing up?

2mm is getting a bit thin, especially with all the cold wet weather we're having. BMW state 3mm minimum.

I just bought my '21 with just under 27k and the tires are new (CarMax slapped on a set).

I put over 60,000 miles in my Passat TDI (and still going) on the same tires as my 235i now has (Continental Extreme Contact+ ). But I drove that car different. It almost beckoned you to hypermile while this car just wants to play. I suspect I won't be getting tire wear like that in this car.

Yeah I know, but the maintenance company won't replace them until they reach 1.8mm, I could've done with new ones over the last few months as it's been the wettest winter for a long time

That's not a supplier I'd ever want to deal with. Blatantly ignoring common sense and BMW's requirements. Even BMW dealers selling an AUC will replace any tyre less than 3mm.

I’m on my second full set on a M235i at 11k miles. 5mm (ish) all around on the second set.

First set - potenzas
Second set - PS4s

They are not interested as the tyres are technically legal, but it sucks.
