19" stock tires life

General question, with moderate to aggressive driving without any burnouts or drifts how long do you think stock tires can last?

i have tire depth measuring stick so i keep an eye on it.

i might be too paranoid, since i only have 2500 miles on the car, but judging from my previous z4 35is tires go quickly. z4 had run flats so they were garbage to begin with, but m3 thankfully has good tires.

thanks in advance

They will last between 10k-13k miles, even with aggressive driving.

I have 6k miles of aggressive driving and their about done

So many factors... driving style, weather, temps, inflation, alignment, etc. My best guess is 8-12,000 miles. I expect to get 6,000 with a couple of track weekends. Others may get longer.

I've got over 10,000 with half a dozen autocross days and still look ok. Fronts probably only have 3-5k left but the rears will easily go 20 -25k I think.

That is really good mileage!!! You must be gentle on the throttle... I couldn't get that on the E92 with way less torque

You think I can get a couple of track weekends with stock tires, I did one will be doing my second one this weekend I will report back.

Do you have 18s? I forgot to mention I have 18s at 10k miles. They have about 2-3k left. I punch on the throttle nearly every stop light and loves taking corners until the tail swings out.

thread depth is the same on both tires so should not make a difference
