OSF(driver side): 4.0, 4.2, 4.4
OSR: 5.0, 5.2, 5.4
NSR: 5.2, 5.0, 5.0
The car is 12 months old, has done just over 8,000 miles, staggered pirelli runflat tyres with 19 inch alloys, mostly done short journey in areas with lots of elevation change, many roundabouts on gradient and generally poor British roads.
Is the tyre wear as you would expect? The inner driver side tyres is wearing quickly. Is it alignment related, if so, will I have to pay for a realignment? What's the outlook for my tyres in the next 6 months?
Thanks

That doesn't look too bad to me
Lots of short journeys with stop and start .. lots of accelerating and decelerating .. possibly static steering wheel movements ... are likely to have an impact on front tyre wear more so than rear
Bearing in mind the X3 is a heavy car ., you've lost 3mm in 8k and have another 3mm or so till they hit legal limit .. so possible 16k out of fronts .. not bad really
Slight uneven wear not really an issue .., quite normal
If one side of tyre was down a couple of mm then I'd be concerned
Fwiw my car does mostly long journeys . I'm at about 3-4mm on 20k
