tire mileage for the 2009 Z4 sport package tires 19"

such a subjective question as it depends on so many factors...

how heavy your right foot
road surface
driving style
etc...
 
Okay so mine is mostly motorway driving, but have just done 17k miles and have about 4 mm tread on the rear, will probably rotate them next month so I can replace the Bridgestones together, there is however someone on the forum that replaced his rears at 17K and it does depend on how you drive
 
Can u rotate the wheels? I wouldnt think u could. As for tyre wear there is a debate as to BMW setup causing premature tyre wear!

The chamber set up on the rear does seem to induce premature wear on the inside of the tyre, so I guess rotating the wheels would slow this as long as the tracking on the front is Ok.

However whether you can do it or not depends on your wheel and tyre setup. ie if you have a staggered set up (wider rears than fronts) and with most tyres being directional these days you could only swap front to back on the same side, this would result in you having wider tyres on the front than the rear, not a clever idea.
 
My rear bridgestones had 17k on them when i changed over to 19's (and RFT).... and they were not at the wear indicators yet even.. so prob had about 3mm let.

And i dont exactly drive like miss daisy either!
