you've got a ton of weight, plowing the tires around- with less pressure the sidewalls get rolled over and scrubbed to death.


IMO BMW sets pressure a bit low to give a nice soft ride too. Not, as we are often told, 'because BMW engineers hold performance above everything else'




I agree with the replies above. Inflate a few psi above what the door states. Also check you tire manufacture dates stamped on the side. Older tires will wear faster. BMW specs on alignments are awful. Read ard’s thread. Request specific specs.
