My wife's 2006 325i came OE with Pirelli Eufori@ runflats on the 17" Sport Package wheels. They are now down to the wear bars at just over 15,000 miles. The tires have been maintained at the BMW recommended tire pressure and checked monthly. We inquired with the dealer last week and they said that the BMW recommended pressures were too low and that the tires should be inflated to 40 Llbs. They say that this is why our tire wear is so poor. Well, for one thing, under-inflated tires usually wear more on the outside and these are wearing evenly all across the tread. We are supposed to have a meeting with the BMW field service rep. next week. I'd like to know if what we are experiencing is normal or if there is something basically wrong with these Pirellis in this application.
