Bridgestone Pontenza RE050A

rup · 01-29-2009, 01:04 PM

Bought a used e92 330D of BMW in Aug and they gave me 3 new and one OLD tyre! Tried to get the old one swapped but they said in AUC spec so no.
Anyway, have now swapped the old one for a (nearly) identical Bridgestone Pontenza RE050A. However on closer look at the other 3 they are Bridgestone Pontenza RE050A II. Can find no info on what difference is.
Anyone know if there is a difference? Is it ok to have a II and a non-II on the same axel?
Never gona use bridgestone again as sod all info on their website & expensive!

Maybe best to phone them and speak to technical.

Just the latest version, you won't notice the difference driving it
