If price was not an issue, what would you choose between the Falken and the Bridgestone ? I'm leaning towards the Bridgestone due to its stiffer sidewall..... cheers |

Frank prolly got one of the techs to mess with it - don't think he was used to a tractor lapping at the same speed.

Look up a product called Ultraseal. This will probably solve the issue. Jeff |

Guy's I have worked for Michelin for 22years and although I wouldn't recommend every Michelin tyre,the run flats are far superior to any out there,they last so much longer,grip better, run smoother and even handle better in the snow (if you have a 3x2 slab in yout boot).Going for a cheaper brand is just false economy.To whoever asked about mixing run flats with non run flats,it's not illegal but not good practice,it's like putting radials with the old cross ply.Hope this helps...Btw i get my tyres for free

I have a work buddy thats got a 335D M sport with MV3 alloys and after his 10 minute rage out with his RFTs he got hold of a nice new set of Conti's, now his words to me are as follows........ "its like having sex with the road, handling without the compromised comfort".
He recommends them, I have never personaly used them, i am happy with budgets from Blackcircles. Each to there own I guess. |

I'm in the same boat! Absolutely sick of the run-flats.
Have done a bit of homework including this forum, and Falkens are still rated as v good, for a good price. Vredestein came in second. Obviously Conti's are the real deal, but they are mega money. I've managed to secure new 'staggered' alloys (Cades Tyrus) and Falkens for just over the 'grand' pricemark,not a bad deal baring in mind, new run-flats can cost up to 210 a corner! Should get them within a couple of weeks, so will post some pikkies for comments! |

I dont think the BMW dealer will fit non-RF. This is the response I got from Stewards road anyway. I think it is best to inform your insurance company.
