Bridgestones.....how long do they last!!!

Ti Rich · 11-25-2015, 01:15 PM

330d just been in for it's first service at 18K miles and there is still 6mm on the rear tyres and 7mm on the front. I will never get rid of them at this rate.

Do they normally wear this slow?

My last E90 330d wore tryes much quicker than this!

teaston · 11-25-2015, 01:16 PM

My S001's lasted 17k til the rears were nearly at 2mm

Are you driving it like a laydee?

d246 · 11-25-2015, 01:18 PM

My Bridgestones still had 6 or 7mm after 23k miles. Must be the same compound they use on lorries.

JustChris · 11-25-2015, 01:19 PM

On a 520D lasted about 40,000 miles!! Made of concrete obviously!

Tengocity · 11-25-2015, 01:22 PM

I got fed up last year after 20k miles and seeing they'd barely worn 2mm.. I got a slow puncture and just decided to change the whole lot at that time!

Andy30D · 11-25-2015, 01:42 PM

I drive mine 'well' and all b and a roads some motorway.

Just changed one original rear after 36k miles, both fronts still have 5mm! Other rear changed due to an accident.

Pretty good miles per pound IMO!

Kav79 · 11-25-2015, 02:26 PM

I managed 22k on my previous 335d before the rears were down to the markers, fronts had a couple of mil over, ill be interested to see how long the Goodyears last on the new one

Good work, seems the forum record so far for driving it like you stole it...oh no wait just seen location....

Broncho · 11-25-2015, 02:38 PM

The rears on my 320d lasted 17k, I can't see the rears on the 330d lasting that long being honest!

What are the wear rates on 18" compared to 19"?

JD6 · 11-25-2015, 02:47 PM

My rear Bridgestones are close to 3mm now after 19k miles (on the summer set), the fronts still have about 6mm. However I will replace the complete set with MPSS soon after switching back to summer tyres in spring.

DarrenL_007 · 11-25-2015, 02:55 PM

I seem to be one of the few who didn't get Michelin's or Bridgestone's.

Anyone had any experience of how long the Pirelli's last on the F3x?

Have you got a vagina?

planemad · 11-25-2015, 02:58 PM

I really want a set of goodyears on my 335. I think the good year is a great tyre.

Just changed the rear Bridgestones on mine the other week. 25k miles, down to 3mm. The fronts have got 5.5mm left on them, so half-worn.

Tell it to stop driving your car then!!

HiBee · 11-25-2015, 05:07 PM

I had RFT Bridgestones on my recently departed 328i.

I found that the tyre wear wasn't much. My fronts were at time of inspection were around 4 to 5mm, with the rears at 5 & 7mm tread depths.
I measured the depth before inspection & found to be around the same.

One of the rears was replaced in the summer.
This was around 30k, give or take a few thousand when running on winter set up.

The 340i gets picked up tomorrow, with Goodyear boots, not sure how long they will last.

JoshB25 · 11-26-2015, 07:29 AM

im on 22k miles and still have 6-6.5mm
