Tyres uneven use

Based on my experience inner tire wear is normal on high performance \ high torque cars. These EV's provide instant torque so my assumption is that's the cause.. have you been gunning it on the straights

You could always take it in for an alignment to make sure its set to factory spec.

My ISF eats the inner half of tires at factory spec. I expect the M50 to do the same.

My VW cc always wore the inner rear. It's a camber issue.

A lot of people mistaken camber as the issue but usually toe does wayyyy more damage than camber. I used to run -5 camber and it didn't affect the wear much. I would ask the dealer to check the alignment to make sure everything is in spec.

BMW’s have historically had their suspension angles tuned for high performance, not even tire wear.

in my limited knowledge of tires.

camber setup helps with cornering
in the m50, the rears do more of the acceleration

to my untrained eye, the wear doesn't look too bad.
it looks like your rears might get 20K miles if you're luck on them

These were my hankooks on my boxster back in 2011... I had done some work replacing a CV boot, and cheaped out and didnt get an alignment.... in hindsight I should have gotten an alignment when I got the car in 2008 as I had to replace tires that had bad wear on the insides to get the safety...

100% this!!

I'm likely going to completely dial out the rear toe after I've installed Eibach springs/end links. From what I've seen of the OEM specs, there's way too much toe from factory.

The independent shop where I live uses an alternat alignment spec for more even wear. Not as ideal for high performance cornering, they said. So I’m getting more even wear (on the fronts, anyway) and I don’t notice any difference in handling

this is on a 328d sport wagon, but the issues of alignment should be the same.

Would really be interested in seeing a thread (and your car in person) once you do this! The car does come with a significant amount of toe-in and negative camber at the rear. I love how it looks, but I'm not at all surprised by OP's findings. I bet it's even worse with the 20" wheels 🥲

Given the current alignment, probably makes sense to enjoy some corners to even out the wear.

Have you measured tread depth with a gauge on the inside and outside tracks?

Hi all,

I've seen quite some threads about tyres being unevenly used.
I wonder if it is a car defect or dealer's fault?

Pictures of mine below. The rears and fronts are more used on the inside.

Front:

What I noticed while taking pictures is, it does seem like the wheels are "angled" so is it an alignement issue?

It's my first time buying a brand new car, aren't they supposed to come all ready and aligned?

Thanks for any advice and inputs.

PS: Tyres have 5k miles in.

I am installing new tires Wednesday. Mine wore even. And lasted 24000 miles.
my series wore them inside even with alignment down yearly. I mean it was big difference outside looked new but it’s was oem setup.
was told I can get kit to straight the camber but would lose handling

Okay, thank you all for your answers, seems like the consensus is that this "angled" setup is on purpose from factory for cornering sport oriented cars... Glad to have learn one more thing about the car
I guess I gotta drive it more like its meant to be
