Not that I disagree with you as Mr Wilks does have a vast knowledge on wheels and tyres but he never seems to keep them for long to find out long term use.Machine monkey wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 8:19 am Op I would trust Mr Wilks.
He has had many z4s and many different wheel and tyre brands and size setups!

Fair point but I do rattle some miles on them eg 7k on silver-grey MR, 5k on Imola MR, 5k on 35i & 3k on current MR all of which were done on different wheel/tyre combinations.Nictrix wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 9:34 amNot that I disagree with you as Mr Wilks does have a vast knowledge on wheels and tyres but he never seems to keep them for long to find out long term use.Machine monkey wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 8:19 am Op I would trust Mr Wilks.

That's what I mean though, how many wheel changes on each of those. Or was the full mileage done on one set on each car?mr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 10:41 amFair point but I do rattle some miles on them eg 7k on silver-grey MR, 5k on Imola MR, 5k on 35i & 3k on current MR all of which were done on different wheel/tyre combinations.Nictrix wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 9:34 amNot that I disagree with you as Mr Wilks does have a vast knowledge on wheels and tyres but he never seems to keep them for long to find out long term use.Machine monkey wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 8:19 am Op I would trust Mr Wilks.

I do swap & change wheelsets on the Zs but predominantly the bulk of the miles added on each car would be on one set.
I do have 2 other vehicles as well that I don't switch wheels/ tyres.
Workvan on 18inch alloys I do around 15k year so a few tyre changes run full cycle
C class estate on 18s last 4years on a set of winter Hankook ice bears run all year round. Bought new covered 17k total to date & still over 5mm tread.
No relevance to this thread of course other than I run 245 40 18 on my C class rear 8.5j
