Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 255/35 R13 BMW E91 320D M Sport Touring 12,000 miles June 12, 2010
One word... GASH! I've had numerous cars and lots of tyres from low/budget, mid range and high performance. On the BMW these are utter nonsense for a tyre that can cost nigh on ?300 each.

The skip, crash and bounce all over the place, traction control light comes on when going over minor indentations in the road, the have as much grip as as an arthritic chimp, even worse in the wet.

Unfortunately, these come as standard on new BMs so I didn't actually pay for them directly. They'll be consigned to the heap soon for a proper set of tyres, ie Eagle F1s or P-Zeros.

If you value you safety and your wallet, then AVOID these like an episode of the X-Factor!!!
