Dang! Is that road asphalt on the tires? Or are they melting?

No rim damage?

I hope work will replace your tires

Wet got some very similar sketchy tires for wife's 535 and they are very ok.

My tires on my e70 are much harder than I'd prefer but wire they last! Over 50k miles! 80.5 k km

It dawned on me the other day that k km is Mm (mega meter). 80.5 Mm.

At the rate you go through tires, I think the only thing that matters is, Black, Round, Hold Air

your not doing track days, ok well you probably have some defensive driving to do dodging camels but.... And your sure not worried about the wet or snow performance

Same boat with the 4.6! Last tires were Nitto and previous to that, Duellers.

Now? Nothing available but Wanli China.

I've driven them in anger and was not expecting much, but they are surprisingly taking it in stride.

Ride is a bit more flinty then I remember though.

I'm ok with it considering the set of 4 cost less than 1 Bridgestone/Continental/Michelin, which were all out of stock anyway.

I'm getting a lot of grief from my tire snob friends though.
