Jeez, 10 000 km only??? What surface do the roads have in Greece, covered in sandpaper?

Just joking John, but I'll be sad if I only got 10 000 km out of mine. I usually get at least 20 000 km.

Regards, R

You should check the wheels alingment. I had my done last spring, and that helped. I reckon I got 15K kilometers from a pair before and maybe double after the alingment check.

Tyres are a small price to pay for driving the M5
