Somebody I know just leased a brand new G20 330i, and without any M packs or whatever, the car comes standard from the dealership with Bridgestone tires. That person used to have an F30 (no M pack again) and that had Pirelli tires, so I'm just wondering, does that mean that BMW are done with Pirelli and have gone back to Bridgestone tires? Or is it just with G20s or 330is?

Interesting... so maybe they're done with Pirelli but only with standard tires? I know M pack cars have Michelins also, that's one hell of a tire brand range!

It always depends on the stock of BMW basically built Pirelli, Bridgestone, Michelin and Continental. Pure luck thing

My M-sport came with Bridgestone RFTs. This winter I'll swap for winter tires and then non-Rfts in the spring and store the factory tires to put back on at the end of the lease.

Pirelli P7's aren't the best tires but there were no options when we took delivery of our shop car.

Went to the dealer 3 times and there is still a tire or wheel vibration. The 3rd time they said they couldn't duplicate the problem!
