Is this suppose to happen? Only had one hard spirited driving uphill and downhill from Genting and everything else it was normal driving. No hard acceleration whatsoever. 4000km mileage lol. It looks like it's been thrashed in a track.

It's a Pirelli Cinturato P7 RFT, stock tyre on BMW F30 M Sport. Size 255/40r18 on the rear. Both rear tyre looks like this but the front looks relatively new. I'm quite shocked lol, I guess this tyre can only last like 10-15k km?

Thanks for sharing. I just changed my RFT. I was so tempted to take Pirelli Cinturato P7 because of the competitive price. However, the tyre shop owner told me the tyres are produced in China. So, he advised me to take Continental CSC5 SSR, which are manufactured in Hungary. The stock tyre I got for my F30 was GY. Though GY RFT is well known to have bulges, the three original ones I had last for 60,000km. One of them got a bulge after I drove for about 10,000km. Now, it looks like GY and Pirelli are big no no for RFT.

Well most wouldn't go back to the P7 as it is really just an OKAY tyre, not exceptional especially the price you have to pay. I'm running on Non RFT now, 19inch Pilot Super Sport.

Michelin is good tyres. I was very tempted to change to Non RFT too. I already had an air pump in my car. But, just can't let go the worry about searching a tyre shop in the middle of no where.

19" is great. Did you change your suspension? Or, it is stock M Sport suspension?
