I have 17K on them now and have about 50% tread left---so I am thinking I can get close to 25K on them. I'm going for the world record ha.

Go for it! I just got my 2013 SAV and watching closely what people get out of the dunlop's. Already have been pricing out my replacements to avoid the shell shock, LOL. Either way, they are cheaper and last longer than the tires I had on my E46 M3 Cab so I'm already in the bonus with this car.

Do you drive aggressively, namely accelerate fast from a stop?

not sure if jackrabbit starts really burn much rubber seeing the weight of the vehicle... probably more from hard cornering and such. I've got to say - I've seen a lot of E70s the last 5 years and hardly anyone drives them aggressively from what I've seen. I'm in a 3.0 with kids in the back and driving faster than them.

I would say I'm average--I don't really beat on it too much.

Yeah I think hard cornering is the main reason behind the tire wear on them.

I still have tread at 10k (as I should), but it's the ridiculous cupping on the outside edges (on all 4, but particularly on the fronts) that drives me crazy!

Are yours cupping and are they noisy?

My tires wore evenly on all 4 tires but I only got around 18K. It would be tough to figure out exactly as I change my wheels/tires every winter.

Yes, I do drive "aggresively". Well, as much as one can in 4.8i...

No cupping on mine and not noisy.

Just replaced the dunlops on my wife's 3.5d. They lasted about 13k miles but were very very noisy and all of them cupped on the shoulders. Truly terrible tires. We replaced them with the same bridgestones that came with the X5M. Almost 1/2 the price of the Dunlops and last a lot longer while being quieter as well. I cannot believe the poor quality of the Dunlops.
