Even just that little mileage caused a measurable difference in tire wear. It wasn't immediately noticeable to the naked eye, but using the old Lincoln Head Penny trick as my tire depth measuring device showed a marked difference. Did on my 540 and I plan to do it on the X5 too.

Been debating if this is safe or not and nobody knows, finally bit the bullet and did it, but I am guessing there is something different about the outside of the tires that have OUTSIDE and INSIDE on them?
