Anyone know what run-flat tire will the 1er be using???
I went up to Tirerack.com and found a bunch of run-flats any guess on which ones will come with the car? And if you were to get new rims and tires are you stuck with getting towed if you get a flat?

I'm guessing the same kind as the E90. Just get a fix-a-flat kit.

A separate set of Blizzacks WS-60s on 17" wheels may be the trick. Teslaastro is in FL so he hain't seen snow in awhile (I would suspect). BTW, the WS-60s were developed because you Cannucks complained about the tread pattern on the WS-50s being squirrely during lane changes in slush ; -). |

My e90 has Bridgestone RE 050A runflats stock. They are decent as daily driver tires in the wet. Heck, I left them on for the past two winters up here in Massachusetts too. I certainly wouldn't recommend that, but I've driven in the snow with them (and they did suck, as expected).

This is the review I found for this tire.
http://www.freshalloy.com/site/marke...0a/default.asp So it turns out to be not bad of a tire other than the fact that you may have to change them once a yr. (Once every 3 months for some of us who love putting solid strips on the streets).
