Bridgestone S001 mostly seen on M Sport models so far

Within a diameter (") bracket of tire, are they all the same generation runflat? Ie. Should we be hoping we don't get a certain random tire within the group?

Different manufacturers went into runflats at different times, so their generations are different.

All the new ones for the F30 are supposed to be good, but we will have to wait for owners reports to see the differences

E60 520d and current 330d came with Bridgestone Potenza's on their 18" alloys. Because of tire changes, the 330d now had Pirelli PZero's all around.

Neat, those look a little different than the 18" version. those look like summer tires.

The PZero is a ultra high performance summer tire, like the S001

Is it possible that the 335i sport line 18s are coming with more summer tires rather than all season? Anyone notice that pattern at all? I know tire rack says the 335i 18" sport line have the summer Pirelli rather than the all season one.

Does anyone have any idea of whether or not the sport line 335i comes with summer rather than all season?
