Anyone has the same issue, what did you do? 61reg m 40d e70 has done 14000 miles and inner of rear RFTs wear very quick? It had sent to bmw to check, I was told puncture problem and had to change all four, anyone has got the same issue before, what did u do? After change all RFTs, everything is back normal?

14k is not a lot when your geometry/tracking is out as its a heavy car. Tread pattern needs to be across the width of the tyre so can be illegal and an MOT failure if excessively worn on one edge. Mine did less than 14k before they wore out on the edges. Did they laser align as well? Worth getting that done as tyres are expensive beasts.

Tread has to be 1.6mm across the centre 75%.

That's him.
But you can hardly rotate a set of E70 tyres to make them last longer LOL

This is the norm

Part of the price of having a good handling car
