Stock Pirelli/Continental Tire Life?

johnung · 12-22-2019, 01:42 AM

Curious how many miles guys have gotten out of their stock Pirelli or Continental runflats in size 225/45-18?

Please share how many miles you've gotten out of a stock set of runflat tires? Thanks!

I got about 30k miles (or 50k km) from the stock set of continental run flats staggered.

I got around 25k with the stock pirelli tires. They don't last too long

Better then the 19k I got on my stock Pirellis.

My factory Pirelli Cinturato P7 RFT's lasted 40-45k with religious rotations.

My current set of Continental DWS 06 (non-RFT) are at 45-48k and are getting close to wear bars. Probably end up getting about 55k miles out of them.

Still undecided on what to do next... need a high performing all season and the DWS 06 is very hard to beat in that category.

Check out Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ for an all-season.

Pirelli P Zero RFT tires lasted about 23.5K.

The OEM Pirelli P Zero RFT's on my 4 series lasted 16,000 miles (front, rear can probably get 20-25k). Very disappointed; next set of tires will be non-RFT and will NOT be Pirelli.

I have used and continue to use the original oem RFT summer Cont's and like the tires for the usual reasons stated. However my first experience was unsatisfactory. My front summer Conti's lasted only about 15-16k. The edges were like racin' slicks. I am very careful with tire pressure and followed the BMW door recommendations. After I replaced them my dealer suggested 36 square instead of the 32/35 recommended. I have 17k on the new front set and they are no where near the wear bars. As a rough guess they will have at least 17k more. My rear tires seem fine now. The first set were nail magnets so not sure what they would have gotten. My new rear tires have 20k and look good too. So after we made some adjustments, I have no complaints. Hope that helps.
