How about "Some RE050 RFT, crappy thing(s)"?

bimmersinner · 03-13-2007, 11:27 PM

Any way of getting the dealer to replace them with something else? If they are so crappy what are my other options other than selling a set of tires with 30km on them.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT.

I don't believe there are that many other RFT options available. If you want non-RFT, that opens things up considerably.

those rear tires are gonna be tricky to get replacements for, it's a very odd size and only a handfull of tires are made in that size (255/30/19)

the best thing to do would be to replace them with 265/55/19 there you will find a dozen or so tires

as for runflats I think Bridgestone is your only option

Pirelli makes a tire.......Eufori............not sure what it's like though

remmib · 03-14-2007, 02:42 PM

My guess is Pirelli Eufori.

dude....i have had my car since the beginning of feb.....and the tires are fine....they are sticky enough to pull a .90g on the test track so im sure they are sticky enough to handle anything you dish out....spend your money on another mod...good choice on the 19"!!:rocks:
cheers, shig

bimmersinner · 03-16-2007, 09:54 PM

Thanks mang - i get my car next monday or tuesday - i've done some reviews on the car and the tires have good reviews - for the first 20k. It is not an everyday driver for me so hopefully they will dry out and crack before they go bald . . .

I drove 2 months on my 19" 230 with the RFT's I like em so far, I drive em hard. potholes suck though, 19 with rft and pothole feels like BAAM inside the cabin lol. I will change em after they are done probably to Pzero or something like that.

When are you guys putting your summer rim/tires on anyway I'm getting the urge to do em soon. mid april ?

+1 I have no problems with the 230 19's..they definitely ride on rails for highway work.. just don't run them in freezing conditions..
