Could be the compound of the Bridgestone. Sounds like the tires are fighting for grip. The overall structure of the Bridgestone may not be fit for a 8 series . Are the Bridgestone tire BMW ☆ star rated too? Please let us know.

Goodyear or Pirelli are the OEM fit of choice. |

I had this issue with the OEM Michelin tyres on my 840d, front inside edges totally worn out and MOT illegal at quite a low mileage. Didn’t realise it was so widespread.
I’m now in a new 840i with OEM Goodyear tyres so will be keeping a close eye. This one is RWD whereas the diesel was XDrive if that could be a common denominator, as it sounds like it probably isn’t being caused by one brand of tyre only. |

Hello all,
Did we ever get anywhere with BMW UK on this - i've got a late 2021 car with just under 12k miles and the fronts are worn right down on the edges - just wondering if it's worth pursuing BMW over For those who have changed the tyres - which ones have you gone for and is the wear any better? The car is only used for general day to day driving - never any track or performance driving so seems strange to have tyres which are down to the cords at 12k miles - my 2019 330i lasted around 32k before needing changing (so can't be driving style) Thanks, Usman |

Blasted Tires
Hey, just wanted to follow up on this to see if any news on this issue. We have a 2022 m850i xDrive. Have gone through 3 sets of tires this year for this exact same issue. Dealer keeps telling me to get another alignment.
Do the Michelin's fix this? Anyone gone over 10k miles on a set? Any other fixes? |

I have a ‘22 Comp with 6,xxx miles, and have not observed this on my tires, yet.
On my ‘83 633, I installed a suspension kit probably around 1986 or so (the manufacturer of which I do not recall) on the car for handling purposes, with Pirelli Zero’s. The manufacturer said that a byproduct of this installation would cause excessive and premature wear on the inside of the front tires. I’ve read through this thread and only saw one reference to the stock suspension setup...is it possible that the OEM suspension setup is the cause here? JMO, but I don’t think it’s the tires. |

My M8 Comp has almost 23,000 km on it. The original Michelin Pilot Sport tires are almost mint really. Not a lot of wear. They should last a season or 2 for me still. For the most time I drive fairly sedately I suppose. I do get on it but with the amount of police in my area caution is best at times. These cars are so fast that it take no time at all to be way over the limit. I save that type of driving for places the cops won't be too likely.
I've used those Michelin tires on my other fast cars and they are great imo. I don't need any kind of snow or winter features as it gets stored over winter. So those tires will do for me. |
