I got MPSS's and just ticked over 20k miles. The rears are practically at the wear bar, maybe a millimeter or two above wear bar. I spin first and second in a straight line, in the dry to boot. Wet traction is non existent at the moment.

The fronts on the other hand look a bit more healthy, maybe 5-6 millimeters from the wear bar. I was contemplating only swapping out the rears then do the fronts, but the car is starting to plow a bit in the wet; so I may just do all four in a few weeks.

So far my rears last about 6K miles and I'm replacing my fronts with 12K miles when spring returns.

Had the Contis, lasted about 13K miles with about 15-20% tread left. Couldn't stand them anymore so I switched to Sport Cup 2s

It's driven 55 mi daily on highway and 5 mi daily on streets. About 10k mi better than the 335i run flats.

When my rear Contis wear out, I am going to replace all four tires. 8,300 miles so far and they have plenty of tread.

Replace all 4 with mps4s. They are an upgrade for road noise, ride quality, wet, and performance.

On an F80 - 275/295 MPSS. 22k miles, still tread on my fronts. Chucked the tears but could have squeezed more out. Mostly highway driving and higher speed country roads. One HPDE.

I saw about 20-25K out of my Rear Michelins.
Still plenty of life on the fronts.
Current 41K on odometer, but run winters 3 months out of the year.
Winter rears will be shot after this season.

I've never driven the car in the winter - hence no need for winter tires.

I now have 21K miles on all 4 Michelin PS4's and they look fine.
35psi all around - never track or spin them though.
