What brand of tyres came with your E90?

I was curious to know what brand of tyre came with your E90?

Have you been happy with them, would you use the same tyre come replacement time?

Regards

Bridgestone Turanza 16" all seasons. Can't really answer the second part of your question yet, because I don't know how they will wear. I drive a lot of commuting miles, so it won't take me long to get an idea. I will say that I think they ride very nice and are quiet. Also interested to see how they handle in the winter with light snow, etc.

325i ZSP... Bridgestone RE050A RFT.

I haven't had a chance to really push them. They are a bit noisy on the highway, but they're better than the Dunloop RFT tires. I intend to stay with RFT tires. I'll probably get the PS2 RFTs when mine are worn down.
