20' Tyres
Hi All
Can you please let me know what make 20' run flat tyres you have on your E70..
I have Bridgestone on mine, but have been told BMW have changed to another make due to high tyre noise from Bridgestone run flats
Many thanks

ive heard nothing about Bridgestone Potenza run-flats being dumped by BMW UK , i have heard of owners ditching them tho and going for non run flats and carrying an inflator kit, cheaper and apparently way better,

I ditched the potenzas on my Z4 and changed out to perreli's, much better handeling and slighty quieter not to mention cheaper!

Nick,

My X5 only came with 20" (not 20')

Seriously though, they are Dunlop SP Sport MAXX. Front 275/40 R20 and Read 315/235 R20. That was late Oct / early Nov 2007 production.

Dunlop here as well - and to be honest, great handling and no noise!
