Considering i got 13K miles from my tyres (front 275/40/20 106w) its not too bad, bearing in mind its mainly done school run with my wife being the main driver. However they are expensive compared to Bridgestone run flat, have been told breaking performance are less responsive in wets, but seriously considering Bridgestones as they are also recommended by BMW.

What drivers say about their 315/30 R20 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Changed the run flats on my 2008 BMW x5 to toyo proxy st front and rear partly due to price (half the cost) and firm ride. Very pleased with improved ride quality and no loss in grip wet or dry. Over 7000 miles later and minimal wear showing. Should easily get over 20000 miles all 4 tyres. A friend got over 30000 miles from these tyres on his vw touraeg.
