Evening I bought my car a 325i M Sport just over a year ago. When I bought it the car came with 2 brand new rear run flats.

I have only done 11,000 miles in it since, I was having a look at the rears today, the driver side has about 4mm left whereas the passenger is near to the wear bars.

Has anybody noticed the same or might I have an alignment issue? What else could cause this?

Thanks

Have you checked tyre pressures. run flats are very sensitive to pressure changes from standard.

Working in Mk used to have this effect on my tourer, but now i'm good / practised enough to get it properly sideways on the way into AND out of all the roundabouts i have managed to even out the wear..............
