Glad it *is* back on track.

I do want to comment that tire alignment can be a very large factor in tire LIFE.

Some will opine that 'wear is even, so alignment is good'. This can be a bad assumption.

Also, people (some people) seem to think that 'alignment' is a binary thing: "took it to the dealer, they say it is aligned".

There is a broad range in the BMW spec, and if you set it in the middle you will get less then optimal mileage. Significantly. Like 1/2 to 2/3s. And set at the wrong end of the spec, you can see as low as 20%. (all these examples would be 'in spec')

Which brings us to the last false argument- ya want lots of toe to get turn in. or BMWs are set aggressively to get that BMW handling, ya need to pay to play.

In summary: When making decisions about tire LIFE, dont ignore your alignments.



And agree on the pressures, I tend to run my tires a bit higher
