New 2009 2010 BMW Z4 - ZPOST - View Single Post - Are these Bridgestone Potenza RE050A normal after 10,500 miles?

These RE050A's have 28,000 km on them. 70% Autobahn, 30% "B" roads and about 50 laps on the Ring. My last set wore the inside edge off in 15,000 km, had the rear camber reduced to -1.5 when this set went on. There is a small reduction in cornering, but only noticable when pushing really hard but straight line stability has not changed. These are 255-30x19's on 313 wheels, and I usually drive it like I just stole it. Tire Pressure is maintained at 33 in front and 41 in the rear

BMW Camber settings have always been a bit agressive...
