[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Bridgestone corporation engineers have worked closely with BMW engineers for the past three years on the development program for this application," said Michael Martini, vice president, Bridgestone/Firestone North American Consumer Tire OE Sales. "We're very pleased to showcase our run-flat technology on this prestigious roadster model."

Martini continued to say Bridgestone/Firestone has been supplying tires to BMW's Spartanburg, S.C. plant since 1999. In addition to the new Z4, Bridgestone brand tires are original equipment on the BMW X5, 3 Series, 7 Series and the ultra high performance Z8 models.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT is a run-flat tire that continues to function safely up to a designated speed and distance after losing pressure. It is a self-supporting run-flat tire employing a special rubber sidewall reinforcement to carry the weight of the vehicle following deflation. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On the Z4, Bridgestone run-flat tires are an integral component of BMW's Run-Flat Combination (RFC) wheel-tire system. This system consists of self-supporting run-flat tires, specially developed Extended Hump wheel rims and a Flat Tire Monitor. The Extended Hump wheel does not require special mounting equipment.[/FONT]
