After a lot of research the general consensus is that this specific tyre suffers from centrifugal growth. So like a dragster tyre middle of the tyre gets taller as speed hence the middle wearing out quickly. I'd suggest changing brands.
My 330e kicked up a warning of low pressure in the front os tyre - I was then shocked to discover all tyres were significantly under inflated - now I am not too sure - it says reccomend front is 2.6 bar and rear 3.0 - but this seems a lot. I’ve inflated them to that but don’t want to be chewing tyres every 6 months!
Far too high that. I'd say 2.3 / 2.4 Bar max.
