The original tires of the BMW 740 are Bridgestone brand. Here is some relevant information about Bridgestone tires: 1. Introduction: Bridgestone tires are the world's largest tire and rubber products. In March 1931, Bridgestone tires were born in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Now, Bridgestone tires are used in the products of many Chinese automobile manufacturers such as Guangzhou Honda, Tianjin FAW Toyota, Zhengzhou Nissan, and Beijing Jeep. The company has production bases in 24 countries around the world, and its sales account for a quarter of the world's total sales. 2. Brand features: Bridgestone tires have recently developed a new in-wheel motor drive system for electric vehicles, where the motor part acts as a shock absorber. The system will be exhibited at the 60th Frankfurt Motor Show (open to the public from September 13 to 21, 2003).
I drove a BMW 740 for several years, and the factory-fitted Bridgestone tires were truly worry-free. This brand has a strong reputation in the run-flat tire sector, with minimal road noise at high speeds that's almost inaudible, and solid wet grip. I remember once driving on mountain roads, and even through continuous curves, the tires stayed firmly planted, giving a strong sense of security. However, these premium tires aren't cheap—replacing one at the dealership costs over 3,000 yuan. I later tried Michelin tires, which offered similar noise reduction but slightly less durability. BMW's choice of Bridgestone likely stems from deep compatibility with their chassis tuning, as handling is the lifeblood of German cars. When replacing tires, make sure to check for the RFT (Run-Flat Technology) marking on the sidewall, or else it may trigger the tire pressure monitoring system.
