My Ride: 2006, US Spec, 530i, Silver Gray, Black leather, Anthricite headliner, Steptronic, Navi Pro, PDC, Comfort Seats, Rear Heated Seats, Rear Shades, Folding Rear Seats, Bluetooth w/Blackberrt Torch, AUX Input, Bi-Xenon, AIB Angel Eyes w/matching fogs, summer wheels R118 w/PS2 tires, winter wheels R138 w/Michelin PA3 snows

I would get the Bridge RE50 if rain was a factor more than sunny days. PS2s are the best on dry roads. At least that's what I've read lately. I have the PS2s and will slow down in rain.

I thought

Dry: RE50 > PS2 > GD3
Wet: GD3 > PS2 > RE50
Handling: RE50 = PS2 > GD3
Comfort: GD3 > PS2 > RE50

Price: PS2 > RE50 > GD3

Interesting summary but sounds about right!

My Ride: 2005 525i : Alpine White, Steptronic, Black Interior with Amethyst Leather & Popular Grain Brown, 17" 122-Style Rims, Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Advanced A/C, Sports Steering Wheel, Electrically Adjustable Steering Column, Extended Lighting Package, PDC, Sliding Armrest, Bus Navi, Hi-Fi Sound System (MP3 DVDs), CD Changer, Rear Sunshades.. MODS:M-tech front bumper, Painted Grill, Installed Aux-In, Garage Door Opener (Overhead Compartement), ///M Steering wheel, Wood hand brake trim, Wood gear-shift lever. 35% Tint all around.. Got, ACS Roof Spoiler, but not installed..

my Bridgestone Potenza RE050 are run flats and to be honest i dont really like them.. they dont have alot of grip (maybe all rft dont or only these) and they are not very comfortable or quite,,,other cars in my family have had tyres changed to michilen and i have found them to be very confortable and with good grip..

i suggest the michelins but i have no experience with the goodyears...

im hoping to change to michelins in a while
