I have a 45e with air suspension and 742M 22" wheels. They look very nice and the ride is comfortable.

I was wondering how many miles/kilometers on average you put on those 22" ?
My previous car was a F16 with 20" and I think I did around 15K kilometers with the tires. Will 22" make a big difference?

In wintertime I put 20" on the car.

the conti premium contact 6 that come with US 22 inch wheels have no tread warranty; i would think you would be lucky to get 15-20K miles out of them

I have 6k miles on mine. I looked at the tread this past weekend. I think I would be lucky to get 6k more. I would say my driving style is moderate with a dash of aggression. If that help any.

22” tires are definitely here for a good time, not a long time. That’s the trade-off you always get for low-profile sporty rubber.

The 22” all-season after market tires would likely last a bit longer but not grip as well in warm weather.

I did 15K km with my X6 on 20". That's 10k miles I guess. I must say my driving style is much less sporty in the 45e
I hope to get 12-15k km on these 22". Maybe more with the 45e driving style, however the torque can be pretty brutal

I have 20k km on my conti already but there's still plenty of tread left... And I drive pretty aggressively.
