What brand of tire is OEM on the 162 18" wheels

Paul330d · 01-10-2006, 10:45 AM

Not talking size here, but brand (e.g. Michelin Pilot Sport). I am in France, so it may be different to the US. Can anyone advise? Thx.

Bridgstone Potenza run flat tires

You are not guaranteed to get bridgestone. They use multiple brands.

I think with the 18's it's only going to be the Bridgestones Potenza RE050A RFT.

If they are the Bridgestones Potenza RE050A RFT then the speed limiter on the sport package only letting you go 260km/h or 161mph makes sense. Judging by the spec sheets those tires appear to be W rated to 270km/h or 168mph

are we ever going to get the Michelin PS2 RFT's here in the states? They look damn beautifull on the e90.
