Swung by Bmw, who informed me that the tyres were illegal, due to being below minimum tread depth. The car has done 7900 miles, and tires pressures are alway kept at the recommended 39psi. I checked the tyres over, right enough the centre of the tyre was at the tyre marker!

So two new tyres on the back today! I’ve now set the pressures at 35psi in the hope that the tyres don’t wear prematurely.

Anyone else have similar issues?
Wow only 7900 miles!

On my previous F31 I was told by my local tyre garage to keep the tyres hard, at least 40 to get the best best mileage. I followed their advice and I got over 20k on a couple of sets of Goodyears.

My new 340d has Bridgestones fitted from the factory so I hope they last the pace.
