It's a rear-wheel drive car! The rears usually wear out first. On any car, if you rotate the tires when indicated, you will even out the wear and extend the useful life of the set.

Yes, the tires on the driving wheels will always wear faster. Even the M35X will wear the rear tire faster - since it is not real time AWD - only when there is slipery detected or when launch, the power is distributed to the front. So, rotate tires will extend the life of your rear tires / tire set.

run flats vs low profile non run flats

I have a 2006 M35Sport. I replaced the first set of tires with another set of Potenza run flats and only have about 17000 miles on them.. They need replacement. Has anybody switched to the low profile non run flats and if so have you had any problems. I know I have to get a spare but that should be cheaper than the run flats although a bit of a problem with space in the trunk. Any other suggestions for tires? Any thoughts on the Federal 595. thanks. jvsb

Do you still like the Generals? I have 30K on my 2006 M35x and have to make a tire decision. Generals seem the most cost effective and have a high rating.

I replaced the OEM tires with Continental Contact Extremes. The were excellent in the rain and winter and reduced the trammeling caused by the M35X inherently defective design. They had an aggressive tread but were not as quiet as some less aggressive tires. Every thing is a trade off. My priority was go in snow and safety in the rain.
Lease on 2006 M35X was over 2/09 with 44,000 miles. Dealer replaced steering rack at 25,000 miles. Helped but no cure.

Personally, I would never use run flat tires. Everything is a trade off. You get better tires for the same amount of money that you spent on run flat. I would just go buy a can of FixFlat and put in the trunk and be done with it (Ok, I will replace it every 6 month to make sure it is still effective). That is still cheaper and the regular tire will provide you better performance IMO.

After 10,000 miles with the OEM Goodyears which I hated, I switched to Bridgestone Potenza Re 960AS Pole Position tires and it was an amazing improvement. Much quieter, smoother, better wet and dry cornering....a superb tire. I have 45,000 miles on them with at least 7,500 miles left. These tires bring out the performance and ride qualities of the car.

Shmang,What happened to bobica and his long tire mileage project. You two seem to have gone at it,but it has been a while.I also drive safely but the M is made to enjoy.I have the M45X and have tried on back country roads to utilize my tires to hold the road in a corner at no more than 130-140.Has anyone found the electronic limiting at 155.I would hope that would only come on a closed track and a straight- away or gentle turn.
