OEM Tires

Hey guys,

Does anybody know what kind of rubber the '09 328 with sport or 335 stock is shipping with? Conti or Bridgestone? I'm hoping the Contis because the RFT Bridgestons have horrible reviews. And yes, I know the RFTs are a compromise

Thoughts please!

Thanks.

Mine had Potenzas, but it's not an 09.

Mine is the '09 18" staggered wheels and they are still the Potenzas RFT

I have the 09 335 as well. They're Bridgestone Potenza's.

Anybody have the Bridgestone Turanza RFTs? Are they holding up ok? How is the performance?

My 09 335 came with Michelin PS2s

18s come with bridgestones or if you're lucky you get michelins

17s come with contis or if you're unlucky you get bridgestones

I've experienced all three on my '07 328xi Coupe with ZSP and 197 rims.

Try to get the Michelins. Accept no substitute.

If you get stuck with one of the others, remember to bitch just before 10,000 miles. There's an excellent chance to get free replacements. I did this 3 times and got 3 new sets.

Now I have the Michelins, which handle great and soften the ride a bit.
But, I'll re-evaluate after putting 9,500 mi. on them.

Free tires for life!
