Non run flats, what a joy

Post by celica » Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:47 pm

With budget in mind I replaced the rears first last month and now changed the fronts to non run flats

315 35 20 Falkens fk453 were about £160 each from memory

275 40 20 uniroyal rainsport 3 about £125

The car drives so much nicer, better steering feel, not so harsh over bumps and ruts, whilst I found the rft would follow the uneven of road and make it harder to drive

I went from rft to non rft on my 535d and was a joy too; just forgot how much difference it is
