I currently have the contis (400M) just ordered a 328 and am hoping to get the bridgestones(heard good things about them). Do certain tires go with certain wheels, or is it still whatever they have at the time?

Thanks

Currently the factories are fitting these tyres on 18" wheels

Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT
Continental SportContact 5 SSR
Goodyear Efficient Grip ROF
Pirelli Cinturato P7 RF

Certain tyres do not get delivered to certain markets.
What you get for your market depends on what is at the factory on the day of the build.
If your car is built in Rosslyn South Africa you are more likely to get Bridgestones as there is a Bridgestone factory located in the country that has been making BMW size runflats for years. The others are mostly imported in runflats.

My 2015 435ix CG M-Sport was produced in Germany and delivered to my dealer in the US at the end of March. It was ordered with the 441 Ferric Grey 18" wheels. It came with the Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires.

how are you like the bridgestones?

Mine was built in Munich and will be delivered this week with 441s. I'll let you know!

Don't expect more than 20k miles out of the Bridgestones or any summer tire for that matter

i have 30k on my contis. they are the same sport rating as the bridgestone, but i am willing to sacrifice some durability for performance

I only have driven about 1500 miles so far, but they are not bad at all IMO. Reasonably decent ride on good roads. Seem to grip well (but not really pushed them). My previous BMW, a 2011 335ix with staggered wheels, sport package, etc. was also delivered with Bridgestone RFT Potenza tires. The ride on those tires was pretty bad compared to these new Potenza S001's. I think they've mades some significant improvements with the RFT technology since 2011. I have no complaints so far with these new Bridgestone's.
