Run Flats v Non Run Flats Question

Post by Golfather » Sat Feb 06, 2016 9:27 pm

I'm looking for a replacement set of tyres in a month or two so need some feedback on whether i should stick with RFs or not. Keen to hear your feedback and experience.

Thanks

Still under warranty?  If so then you will need to stay with BMW '*' marked tyres or risk BMW walking away if you have any issues.

Spoke to the local dealer who said it would be advised to stick with them for now.

Currently running PZero's and they're OK but any alternative recommendations based on experience chaps?

Quick update, new set of boots on the rears and went for the Dunlop SP SportMaxx runlets. Feel much better than the P's i had with more curvature over the alloy so there's some protection.

Fronts due a change in a few k so i'll be able to report on the complete changeover results and feedback.
