Hi , I am new here . Currently I am driving a 320i - E90 model . I have some doubt about the car tyre ( Bridgestone - run flat tyre ) which it came along when I buy new directly from PML last year . I am feeling some type of being unfair to me getting a Bridgestone tyre . I was shocked to receive the car using the Bridgestone instead of the Continental Tyre which it usually BMW used for all their car . During their promotion they advertise the car and the Showroom they have the tyre fitted with the continental tyre . During my collection of the Car I did not noticed the Brand and when I noticed it that is only the next day when I try to shine the tyre only then I realised it . When I ask the sales lady that sold me the car she told me that the shipment came with dfferent tyre . At that time I cannot say anything because it was my mistake that I did not check on the tyre thinking that BMW usually using Continental tyre . Ever since this case happen I have been checking all the new car to see if they do fix with the Bridgestone tyre .. Non I can see them in the parking lot .. Can anyone suggest what I should do ?? What I see is not what I am getting ... !! I have been feeling uneven for the past 10months from the date I purchased the car ..End June 2006 .!!.......... ! Or is there any direct email that I should contact them ..... !!! Thank you ..!

Re: BMW using run flat Bridgestone tyre ... and Not Continental tyre ??
As far as I remember, it's officially mentioned in one of the press releases that Bridgestone will supply the RFT to BMWs.
I havent visited much the PML showrm but so far I have never seen their Non-M cars fitted with Conti RFT.
Why are u disappointed? Bridgestone is a good tire. I'd rate it on par with Conti overall at slightly cheaper price or if not probably similar now.

Some of the E90 bros here got Conti RFTs but they got the car earlier... Anyway for RFTs I think most of them choose to change their tyres to non-RFTs already. Some cars who changed their rims to 17" or 18" got upgraded to CSC II.

Hi , the run flat tyre will last for 200 Km below it gone totally flat . Yes , the new BM is using this type of tyre now . The car does not come with spare rim or tyre unlike most of the car . Are you driving the same car as mine ?? E90 - 320i ?? Are you living near to Killiney Orchard area ?? There is a tyre shop there that support BM tyre , but their price is much more expensive ..because of their location .
