No on fixing the uneven tire wear. Lots of AW'ers in NJ. Start a new thread asking for one. Try
the forum for your area, too, to get locals only. You want someone to ride and analyze if the tires are the issue, or something else. Report back, please.

Yeah, throw them out.
Those tires are garbage. Lots of stories on here of people (myself included) getting new tires when there's plenty of tread on the P6s due to the excessive road noise they generate. Tends to start getting loud between 15k and 20k.

Re: What tires do you guys recommend?
I took my car to the service department twice to get it looked at thinking something was wrong with the ball bearing or something but they told me they were pretty sure it was tire noise.
Just replaced my P6's with Michelin Pilot Exaltos and I can finally hear my music again. You'll be amazed at how quiet your car used to be.
Btw, if the Pilots are too much then check out the General Exclaim UHP. My co-worker got them for his 328i and he loves them.

There are a lot of good, old threads about tires ...
on this board. Take a look in search. When I replaced mine, I was able to find a lot of good info that had already been posted.

Michelin Sport Rib claims to be quiet while offering a sporty handling. We put the PS2 model on one
of our Alfas overseas, and it's extremely nice. Quiet, good in tropical downpours, and predictable high speed handling. On the budget end of things, I like the Dunlop SP 8090.
