Some tyres lose traction after certain % of treadwear.. More surface contact doesn't always translate to more traction, it has to do with the compound formulated... Whatever tyres u buy, bear in mind that the 4 contact patches is what keep the car on the road... Not saying u shud spend top dollars on the black donuts but more like not to skim on them.. make periodic checks on them, like when you're pumping petrol. squat down and check on the inner side.. especially the rear tyres where the camber is dialed to -ve for stability. So the inner tread will wear off faster than the outer tread. seasoned BMW owners will know this but those new to BMW ownership can get caught offguard when they only check on the outer treadwear.. Some even drove until the steel mesh were exposed...</blockquote>
