Ti, I agree. Suspension and alignment seem to be good in this case though, wear is pretty even. Camber and toe is set to BMW minimums front and rear, including the often problematic rear negative camber (got it to around 1.5-1.9 degrees or so at the last alignment IIRC)

Although the inner portion is slightly ahead in wear because of negative camber, the rest of the tire is getting pretty thin all across the width of the tire. No complaints on the wear pattern, but looks like the rears will last less than 15k. Very even but very fast!

Looking at Michelin, it seems there is a Latitude and a Latitude Tour HP? To clarify, the Tour HP's 285 45 19's are the discontinued model/size?
