Bridgestone run flat tyres
At the Paris motor show 2010, Bridgestone were showing new Potenza tyres which will have much softer walls and so should allow BMWs to be a lot more comfortable. They expected them to be on the market in mid/late 2011. Do you know what the latest is as I need a pair of rear tyres fairly urgently?

I went on the launch. The trouble is, they didn't perform well enough in the handling tests for BMW to approve them as OEM and they quietly died.
