They have advised all 4 corners changed plus a KDS wheel alignment - not sure why that would be off, as no kerbing here 
Anybody know a decent place around West Lothian to get this done?
Never had this sort of weat on the 1 Aldis I had previously, and driving style, type of journey and location has not changed since then......
Surely that can't be acceptable wear  |
Following a puncture on one of the original equipment Bridgestone run-flats I switched my F31 335d to conventional Goodyear AS2's at roughly 22k miles. There was actually a fair bit of tread life on the three run-flats I chucked away but the wear had been uneven on the fronts and that may have actually contributed to the aforementioned puncture.
Anyway, the car has now covered around 46k miles and all four AS2's still have over 5mm of tread left (which suggests I'll get the best part of 40k from the set assuming the wear rate is linear). Given the uneven wear on the run-flats I had a full alignment check done when the Goodyears were fitted and my experience with the AS2's suggests tyre wear is pretty even across all four wheels and that the 335d is pretty kind to its tyres; on a RWD BMW I always thought I was lucky to get 20k from a set of rears so to have done 24k on a set and still have over 5mm left is pretty reasonable IMO!
