Default Wear pattern on OEM RFT

18" OEM Bridgestone RFT's - the wear pattern is the same on all 4, with inside and outside threads ar 4/32" and the middle at 6/32". I asked the tire shop if they were underinflated, which would account for this but they said that it wouldn't ( I keep them at 33psi), no further explanation. What is your experience? I think I will soon need to replace them.

I recently had my 10,000 service done and I observed my 18” OEM RFTs were wearing all the same as well. I’ve attached here my inspection report and you could see they are all in the 7/32” mark. I’d want to see where the tread mark will be at 20,000 miles but based on my observation from many fellow NXers experience, the RFTs need to be replaced at around 25,000 miles. For the tire pressure, I don’t know why but the dealer always set the pressure to be 35 psi all around. But when I adjust during filling up the gas, I keep them at 33 psi. What is the odometer on your NX since you have the tread depth around 4/32” on your tires ?

I am at 21,000 miles only, 4/32" is at the sides it's still 6/32" in the middle. Is yours wearing evenly? Check the depth at the sides, not just in the middle. I do notice the dealership inflates them to 35" which makes for a slightly harder ride.

I was under the impression that the service technician would measure it everywhere and the least tread depth is represented in the inspection. May be I should stop by a tire shop to see if the wear is uneven. Anyways, the burning question is are you going to replace the run flats with the traditional when it is time?
