Which make of tire did your 1er come with?

m7ammed · 01-10-2009, 12:00 PM

Well I was at the dealer today, checking up on my order ...etc and I always had the impression that BMW always used Bridgstone. So I was looking at a new E90 which had Perelli tires , so I thought this car will have a spare tire but it didn't so it I thought that means that those are RFTs. So I asked the salesman and he said the come in different makes goodyear , dunlops ...etc

So tell us which make do you have and how its performing.

Bridgestone

USA 128i with sport pack 17" I got Pirelli Eufori@ Run Flats. they are ok as I recall (On snows now) When they go I'll probably go back to Bridgestone Potenzas. But that's just bcause I have brand loyalty, my last two sets of tires were Potenzas.

My U.S. 128i 'vert with SP came with surprisingly good Goodyear NCT5 17" (V-rated) summer tires. Comfortable ride, very good handling on both wet and dry pavement, little noise and reasonable treadwear so far.

Bridgestone runflats... they suck and after 15K they are in the trash... running on goodyear ultragrip PF winters now..

Regardless, they're all run-flats, and will suffer from that (ride, noise, etc...) as they age... You can hugely improve your car when they're worn out and you replace with something better.

BMW sells a mobility kit (compressor + tire repair kit) which can be found cheaply at United BMW (forum sponsor) and you can get a spare tire through LeatherZ for the car as well.

Well my car just arrived with Dunlop runflats
