i also had bridgestone RFT on my current 2009 e90 and they lasted me about 26k miles

on the other hand on our 2009 X5 the michelins lasted us 34k miles.

i guess im speaking to the durability of the tires.

The higher performance tires usually wear quicker
Michelin ultra performance tires will wear just as fast
