Re: The great tyre debate... (20 inchers need only reply)

Hi I had Bridgestone rft last set and got about 15k out of them. They had worn on the outer edge on the fronts and the inner edge on the rear. They would probably last longer depending on the type of driving, the misses uses the x6 mostly and that is just pottering about if it was motorway they ...

Re: BMW 40d compared to a 35d what is the main difference

How do you tell if you have adaptive drive? I have a 58 x6 3.5d? Did it come as standard? Mine doesn't have the air suspension on the rear if that's what it is?

Re: Changed from run flats to non runflat

Had the new tyres on a few days now, seems to be a lot smoother and doesn't tram line as much. I have not really pushed it but I can't notice any difference in handling in the corners. Now I am not sure weather or not to get the space saver kit or just stick with the can of foam sealer.

Changed from run flats to non runflat

Hi all, I have today just had my runflats changed to non runflats. It was only the fronts that had worn but I thought I would give a full new set a try and will probably stick the rears on eBay at some point. I have just been to check all the tyre pressures at the local bp and put the recommended 2 ...
