Hi, I have a '90 900i which does some 45.000 km on a set of tires (Pirelli P4000, Michelin MXT). The Nokia NRT's that have been installed some time ago seem to last equally well, but my mechanic is rotating them at regular intervals. Recently acquired a 900T16S with rather new Michelin Pilot XGT's, still have to see how long they hold, but they provide great grip! Next tire will definitely be Michelin again.
