Much better than the Goodyear’s which came as standard fit on my current 435d. Ran my previous 435d for 5 years, and changed the full set after 4 years and approx 38000 miles. The Goodyear’s on my current 435d were also changed after approx 4 years - but with only about 28000 miles on them. The wet handling of the Bridgestone Potenza is far superior - on fast twisty roads the Goodyear’s were frightening with the car feeling very loose. Wet grip was better in a straight line, on duel carriageway’s, motorways, etc.

all OK. I had to replace a 12 month old tyre because of a bulge in the sidewall. I required a like for like replacement, and happy with it so far.

Great i don't drive fast I just enjoy the good weather with the convertible top down. I think you need to ask the company at Gainsborough to remove the old stickers from the two front alloys.

The Potenza performs fine, but is noisy compared to the 2 Dunlops that I bought 2 for the rear axle. When the time comes, I’ll replace the Potenzas with the quieter Dunlops.
