My tyres have done 58,000 miles. How long do yours last?

The front tyres on my BMW 116 have now done 58,000 miles and show no signs of needing replacing. I used to think 35,000 was good on a 3 series. What's the biggest mileage anyone has got from tyres? The tyres are Michelin Energy Saver.

Check age on tyre wall please.

They're probably well past it and harder than the road!!

DoubleSix it is a 2013 car. I put it down to use largely on smooth tarmac roads like A34 and that I tend to use cruise control as much as possible. It is a company car and when I had a tyre inspection by BMW at a 56k service they said no need to change. And that's a BMW dealer who normally are trying to get you to change tyres whenever they can.

Why do you say that? 60K might be an age of driving to some. For others it's only a year or two.

Balance of probabilities.



Not many mega-mile reps in BMW 116s

It's a 116ED fuel consumption incredible and very low VIK tax band. IMHO perfect for a weekday motorway mile muncher.

Really? Isn't a BMW 116d one of the most typical high mileage rep cars?
Low Benefit in Kind and good fuel economy.

I suspect the fact that OP hasn't come back and confirmed age of tyres tells it's own story...

Happy to come back, it is a 2013 116ED car and yep, has cheap VIK and unbelievable MPG. My fourth 1 series. Still can't get over the tyres are still from new...... It is dull but thankfully have a 135i as a weekender.
