Lads,

Quick question about tyre markings -

I need to urgently get a Bridgestone Potenza for an 04 BMW 320d.

The tyre thats currently on it is a "Bridgstone Potenza RE 040 225/40 ZR18 88y".

Now...I've had a look at Eiretyres, and the nearest I can find is a "Potenza RE 040 225/40 R18 88Y BSW, double marking, 88ZR, Z" - Am I right in thinking this is the same tyre, and the Z (which I think is the speed rating) is just located in a different part of the description ?

I emailed Eiretyres yesterday, but still had no reply - Any tyre gurus who can advise ?
