what tires come with new e90/91/92/93 ZSP?

matt_435xi · 03-27-2007, 08:42 AM

Are they Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT?

On Tirerack the reviews are horrible of this tire, I am concerned.

petros15978 · 03-27-2007, 09:02 AM

All the pictures I have seen unfortunately show every new bimmer (e90,1,2,3)walking on Potenzas. I am concerned myself bro. Fingers crossed BMW will see why it's cutomers are concerned and change the OEM tires to another brand.

wish they were Contis or Michelins, but I think B-stone is the only vendor making our ZSP size in RFT.

My 335i coupe ZSP had Bridgestone RFT 050 225/40-18 F and 255/35-18
picked up ED 3/16/07

I didn't order Sports package but mine came with Contis RFT.

matt_435xi · 03-27-2007, 09:28 AM

contis are OEM 17" non-RFT
b-stones are OEM 18" RFT

made a mistake should say contis are OEM 17" RFT

gongtowjai · 03-27-2007, 01:50 PM

Are you sure?? Dealer told me the Contis were RFT. I'll have to check them.

I wouldn't call the reviews horrible. If you look at the full list of reviews there are bad reviews but there are also very good reviews. The survey results are Excellent for everything but Ride Comfort and Treadwear.

Two very under-appreciated qualities. Obviously there are other factors but if it don't feel good and doesn't last long I say that's pretty bad except that the bad feel won't last too long anyway...

I hope I get the Contis...Bstone, Fstone take advantage of child labor. I'm sure other manufacturers of products that I buy do as well, but if I know about it, I like to support another company that doesn't.

If it's the E92 w/Sport the Bridgestones are the only RFT's that fit (at least according to Tire Rack).

STE92VE · 03-27-2007, 05:34 PM

No ZSP , the stock set up is just fine for me.

DrGP · 03-27-2007, 11:30 PM

I'm taking them off in Nov and replacing them with non run flats.
