Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT'S in the UK?
Trying to source these tyres for my E92 330d in 19's is proving very difficult. Before I get burned I know that RFT's are not the best choice for comfort, handling or noise but fitting 3rd Gen Bridgestones would be a simpler option re insurance etc
I have searched and searched, yesterday spoke to Blackcircles who told me that they have had them on back order for over 2 months as supply from Bridgestone is very poor...yet it's there brand new flagship RFT?? Odd to say the least. Anybody any suggestions on where / how to get these tyres? I'm after 255/30r19 and 225/35r19. Any help much appreciated

Giga-Tyres are showing them in stock and cheaper than the RE050 as well. |

Try another BMW starred runflat. Think the Goodyear EagleF1 is a starred Tyre?

Harsher than the RE050?! Jesus!! It feels like hitting a landmine when you hit a pothole with the RE050!

Whats it got to do with your insurance what tyres you fit?
Half the country is driving around on shit-arse linglong ditchfinders that have no grip at all, and the insurance companies dont care... |

I have Runflat Conti sport contact 2's on my E91 and i think they are great tyres. Handling is brilliant, also wet grip is excellent too. I have been very surprised how good they are.

REO50's are freely available S001's are so I'm told on back order on certain key 19" sizes, I use 2 of the biggest wholesale supplyers of tyres in the UK at the present time they have no due date for S001's.
