Comment:
Tyres worn right down to the wire on the inside shoulder. 5mm tread remaining on the rest of the surface. This seems to be a common complaint on BMW 335 models with 19" wheels. Pressures checked weekly and adjusted as necessary. Worn tyres returned to Bridgestone for investigation and possible claim. Unsurprisingly their report states wear due to underinflation or overloading of the vehicle, neither of which are true. As a prestige tyre manufacturer I expected better of Bridgestone. Front tyres 235/35/R19 W badly worn on the outer edges, but will not bother to return for investigation given previous experience.

Comment:
the rear tyres have worn on the inside edges to render the tyre unusable despite there being another 5000 miles left o 90% of the tyre. the car has never been driven fast of cornered heavily, tyre pressures checked and if needed corrected weekly. looking on various forums this sems to be a common problem. my opinion is the tyres are not up to the job and need investigating.

Comment:
Rough as hell, uncomfortably noisy at low speeds (should come with a set of earplugs), acceptable on dry tarmac, disaster on wet, traction light works overtime with these, smooth breakaway which is good cos they do it all the time!
