I need to get new tires on my 2013 750ix. (Rear 275/40R19; Front 245/45R19). Leaning towards All-season. Not terribly concerned about gas mileage. I drive it fairly hard, but want to stay far away from tires that need to be replaced < 15,000 miles. Sure would appreciate your advice! All the best, Steve Trautwein cell 703.964.6400 steve@mcleanmortgage.com
1st, Welcome to the club & forums! In the Ultra High Performance All-Seasons, I'd favor the Michelins, then probably the Bridgestone's over the Conti's. then the Yoko's. You should be able to get some decent advice if you give them a call. The all-seasons are all treadwear 400-500 which should be longer-lived, presumably the stock tires on the car has a treadwear of 140 or maybe 200. With a staggered setup, of course you can't swap front to rear to even out wear, but if you want to maximize the rear tire life, every 5k or so have the rears flipped on the rims & re-balanced, which would help to even-out the wear from the neg. camber in the rear. At 6 years it's just a guess how much longer the tpms sensor batteries will keep going, you could replace for peace of mind, or ride it out and see how long they last. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/Tire...arRatio=40&rearDiameter=19&rearSortCode=57752
