330 M Sport with M Sport Pro - What Tyres?

Hi

Can someone who has the 330i with the M sport pro package (adaptive suspension, 19" wheels etc) tell me what is the standard OEM run flat tyre they have ?

Thanks!

I've got a 320i M-sport+ and it's got Pirelli's on it. It's just luck of the draw what you get, but the 3 that seem to get fitted are Michelin, Pirelli, or Bridgestone.

G20 330i M Sport Plus/Pro whatever the latest name is.

Bridgestone Turanza T005
Front 225/40R19 93Y
Rear 255/35R19 96Y

Extremely impressed with how quiet they are compared to the test drive I had, although not sure what tyres that car had. Think Pirelli.

This is my set up although will be replaced in the very near future as rears are borderline.

Beemer5to3 How are you finding the ride on UK roads? I am struggling with the Pirelli RFTs. I have driven a 330i with 19" non-RFTs and the difference was incredible. I am almost thinking there is something wrong with the car!

It's ok, but I'm coming from a G30 5 series SE on 17" rims with no run-flats. It is better than my mates 3 though, which is a standard M-sport on 18's. I'd say the adaptive suspension in comfort takes a little bit of the harshness away, and it's worth having the adaptive setup for that, but it's not what I'd consider the most comfortable car ever. I imagine it would be a lot better without run-flats!

Sorry to resurect a slightly old topic.
I have the same tyres but my rears are now nearly due for changing. They've only done 11,000 miles mostly motorway miles without much thrashing, so I'm not overly impressed with the life of them. The fronts surprisingly still have 6mm left which seems great.
The T005's are quite rare, not even appearing on Bridgestone's website. I'm wondering whether to get them again or get something different when the rears are due?
Btw, I have to stick with run-flats due to no space for a spare (330e).

Seems you are not the only one. See this thread. May help you decide to avoid the Bridgestones

In that size I found Dunlop Sport Maxx were good. That was an oem fitment in 2014, don’t know if it still is.
