What RFT are BMW fitting at the moment?

Atlas12v · 03-24-2016, 05:36 AM

My car is due soon and I wondered what BMW are fitting at the moment?

Bridgestones and Goodyear RFT seem to be common and a lot written about both.

Just wondered if anyone knows what my car may arrive on?

340i on 18" std wheels.

Bridgestone S001's.

Initially I thought they were okay but now they are scrubbed in they have got much noisier. One weird thing is that they seem really sticky and pick up and road debris and flick it down the side of the car!

Mine has Pirelli Pzero Runflats on.... 19" though.

Atlas12v · 03-24-2016, 07:17 AM

Got rid of them on my E90 as they were due for change and have been through 2 sets of Eagle Asym2's which have been great.

Might swap these out for a non RFT and keep the RFT for when the car eventually goes back.

Fingers crossed you get Goodyear F1 ASY as I did...fantastic tyres!

If I was hoping for anything it's that they'd make a mistake and fit Michelin Pilot Super Sports but the Goodyear RFT's would be good too.

Ha ha, yes that would be ideal!!

19" wheels on mine arrived last week with Bridgestone S001's

creepy coupe · 03-24-2016, 08:00 AM

Thankfully mine came with Goodyears.

svenj · 03-24-2016, 08:08 AM

Bridgestone S001's on mine that was built in January

planemad · 03-24-2016, 08:15 AM

I was a Jan build and got Goodyear F1 ASY (19s)

Seems like its luck of the draw!!

Was so pleased when I saw mine had the GY.

Teaston's build was was say 30 Vin digits before mine and got BS.

sensible · 03-24-2016, 08:23 AM

Mine are on 19" and are Bridgestone. I noticed that the M Sport 3 series in the local showroom has Bridgestone also.

TB_330i · 03-24-2016, 08:25 AM

Picked up last Wednesday, Conti's on 19 inch 403M's.

Steven1077 · 03-24-2016, 09:49 AM

Apart from the 235i all of my cars had Bridgestone S001's

Esto-Grande · 03-24-2016, 03:00 PM

Picked mine up today.

19" 442M's fitted with Continentals.

rapid64k · 03-24-2016, 06:24 PM

19" Continentals.

225 · 03-25-2016, 03:05 AM

I am praying for GYs on Monday.

4WDriver · 03-25-2016, 07:41 AM

Told my dealer I would accept Bridgestones (18"). Initially he said I'd get what I was given but we talked about swapping out with other deliveries as it's a massive dealership. I wasn't specific about what I got just not Crapstones. Anyway I was lucky and it came with Contisport5s which are really quite good.
