340i 19" staggered summer - which OEM tires?

I ordered with the track package and 442s. Curious which runflats come with the car? Thanks

You will likely get the Bridgestone Potenza S001s.

But I know they sometimes come with Pirelli P-Zero or Goodyears (not sure on model). It all depends on what batch they have. I know that the P-Zero's are the least likely though.

The Bridgestones are shit mate.

Ditch them straight away and go non run flat.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports are what you need.

Anyone know how these compare to RE50s? Have these runflats on my 335is right now. They stick really well but with all the problems of runflats of course.

After owning Bridgestone Potenza S001 for 3 years (19K miles), these tires continue to provide exceptional grip. I don't mind the noise and harshness that others have reported.

RFTs or Deflatables -- an Old Argument

I have the Bridgestone Potenza S001s on my 435xi.

Generally, I'd say they are fine for 'normal', semi-aggressive driving. They might not be suitable for driving at 10-tenths on the Nurburgring, but that's probably irrelevant for 98% of BMW 3/4 Series owners.

Contrary to what others may say, there are advantages to the Run-Flat Tires -- they don't go flat when you encounter minor road hazards like nails!

That can be useful -- I took a small nail in my 35-series rears and was able to drive over 100km (stopping to re-inflate) and get home. With regular tires, I would have been stranded, waiting 24 hours for someone to show up with a replacement in that (rare) size and type.

Chances are, you won't find it difficult to accept the OEM tire.

Update: Picked up my new 340i today and it came with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 run-flats.

Mpss overrated, the Bridgestone Potenza S001 hang with them in almost every category. Unless your a race car driver you'll never notice the difference

Any recommendations for all season tires for 19 inch staggered wheels?

I agree. Personally I think the sidewalls are a bit too soft for my liking on the MPSS tires. I'm very happy with the runflats on the 340i vs my 335is. Much of this must be the suspension changes.
