$1,350 is a steal for the sizes you are running. Thanks for the feedback I will have a sniff around here for them and see what they are worth. The Falkens have been okay and have plenty of life left in them. The grip is not bad, ride is quieter and far smoother on all surfaces but I defintely feel more flex, the steering is not as sharp and they feel less stable on high speed corners than the RE050A's were. The bottom line is the car feels less BMW Sport like than it used to. The other issue I have is I refuse to replace a tyre if I get a flat. The Falkens have already saved me $500 on that front.

In your case some of the ride quality increase you would expect to feel changing out from the RFT's has no doubt been negated by the increase in size to the 19's.

PS: What did you do with the old wheels?

i was lucky enought not to get any flats my mate has a Z4 an he has had to replace two of them (on seperate occasions) at $900 a pop becuase he had to go with the same Goodyears that were on the car ....ouch

it would make sense that the step up to 19's non RFT is about equivialnt to 18's with RFT in the comfort factor.

I was going to keep them but i dont have any room left in my shed and there is no real resaon to as i have got OEM 19's. If you know any one that might be interested please let me now, they are in great condition and the Potenza's have only done about 5000 kms?

Mat, I assume these are the standard M-Sport 18" wheels with 245/40/18's. If so I may have a couple of possibles. Any idea ball park what you want for them?
