Time for new tires - Need help TireRack or anyone!

[rja1973]

I have the 06 325 with Sport package all stock running with the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT. I do not run dedicated winter tires which I know I should but looking to see if there are any descent All-Season RFT tires for my setup, Hoping for something better than the Bridgestone RFT as they are really noisy now at 16500 miles. I know there will be a sacrifice with all season but i dont do any aggressive driving, mostly hwy and some city.

Any tips or information is greatly appreciated!

The only all season RFT available in both 225/45R17 and 255/40R17 currently would be the Pirelli Euforis.

Hi gary,

Thx for the response, i checked out the tire you mentioned on the site and it said its a Ultra High Performance Summer unless I am wrong, please correct me if I am wrong. I know this question has come up a million if not more times, am i limited to RFT tires? I dont mind sticking with them just to find a replacement with this size is hard. I would appreciate your opinion on this? Thanks in advance!

You can use non-rft tires as well on the same wheels with no problem. I'm trying to confirm with Pirelli whether or not these Euforis are indeed all seasons. Our in-house system indicates that they are, but our site says they are not. I'll post results.

Appreciate your time on this Gary. If I opt for non-RFT will there be any adverse affects and in regards to TPMS? If the Pirelli's are a go, are those good tires? Thanks again!

Summer only in this size. This means there are indeed no all season runflats available in these sizes.
