#1996 of 2421 Suttee by lokki Aug 22, 2008 (6:49 pm)
Do you guys not read the boards before you buy a $40,0000 car? Did you buy the car knowing there was a problem?   Sutee - Cause it ain't no big deal.   I can afford a $40,000 car, and I can afford different tires. It's not a big deal financially. The only question I asked is if I need to buy rims to go with the tires - which I can also afford.   Perhaps your situation is different; otherwise I can't see any point to your post.

Replying to: florida911 (Aug 22, 2008 11:26 am) I have the same car and HAD the Bridgestone's too. I went to the Michelin Primacy MXV4 and have been very happy with them (got them in April).   Others on the board recommened them to me in the spring so I'm not the only one with these.   Enjoy!

#1999 of 2421 Runflats to continue on 2009 E90 by webdriver Aug 29, 2008 (8:16 pm)
As noted from the First Drive: 2009 BMW 3 Series Inside Line article posted today, Aug. 29, 2008: It's not all bouquets, though. Despite adopting new fourth-generation run-flat tires (Bridgestone) with an altered sidewall design aimed at providing greater compliance, the 3 Series continues to suffer from an overly firm ride. At highway speeds it is reasonably comfortable, but at lower speeds around town it can become quite harsh when attempting to deal with broken sections of asphalt.
#2000 of 2421 RFT on the way out? by rhmass Aug 30, 2008 (2:23 am)
Based on an article on the Roundel on the X6 two issues ago, the tester said the X6 was equipped with a spare despite its RFT on all four corners. Does this indicate the possibility of the come back for regular tires in the future? The writer didn't mention the type of the spare. At least BMW must have realized finally the inconvenience the RFT may pose to many drivers, not to mention the cost   One can only hope.

I just ordered a 2009 335xi coupe and I hope it will come in with regular tires and a spare. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 30, 2008 5:29 am) shipo (Aug 30, 2008 7:27 am)

Replying to: larry175 (Aug 30, 2008 4:16 am) Your hopes are likely to be dashed...

Replying to: larry175 (Aug 30, 2008 4:16 am) Your chances of getting GFTs on your new car exist somewhere between slim and none. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.   Best regards, Shipo

having real tires, you're going to be driving something other than a BMW.
