Upon last check saw the shoulders of both front tyres looks worn, inside and outside. Actually needs to be replaced. So do we have a wheel alignment problem? Driving feedback does not give that impression. Or is 2.2 kPa to low?
The rear set is significantly more worn in the middle. The shoulders are still in great shape. I understand this suggests over-inflation. Is it then possible that the prescribed pressures should be adjusted ?
We drive about 70 km for 6 days a week of which 50 km are on the free way.
I'll be taking the X1 to the dealership first and will take it from there.
What sort of mileage can one expect from runflats ?
I will appreciate any suggestions / advice.

This is why I immediately swapped to normal tyres from run flats. Just too many stories of the tyres wearing well before one would expect them to and I don't have the time or inclination to be anal about checking the pressure twice a month as recommended.
My car came with RF P7s and I swapped them for Non RF P7s
