Will need a couple in a little while.

Pirellis at present from new. 14k miles doesn't seem much wear.

What else is good?

Thanks for your help.

I assume this is the current model? I have a March 2017 M Sport 20d
I rotated mine when the fronts were around 3.5-4mm. Rears were then 7mm.
3.5 - 4mm wasn't ideal on the front, but overall grip / handling is back to normal now.

It came with Bridgestone Turanzas and they've been good. they are Non runflats. I would recommend them as my usual preferred brand Michelin don't do much for the size. They might still do the Primacy but I can't see it online.


I'm on about 14k miles now too and I don't think, if I hadn't rotated, that I'd have got 14k from the fronts.
I do drive it hard in sport mode though, lots of short distances.
