BMW Z4 - changing run flat tyres

[jimjam10]

Anyone know if I can just change the runflats on my 53 reg Z4 for non-runflats as it'll be a) considerably cheaper and b) probably a better ride.

It has 18" BMW 5-star alloys on. cheers.

You need to check with car insurance company as many will not honour an insurance claim of you use lower speed rating tyres than the manufacturer specifies

That thought has never really crossed my mind , however i only put decent tyres on my car so it doesnt really bother me

You still be able to get tyres with the correct speed rating that are non run flats.

Get a canister of tyre weld so you can limp home.

remember reading that run-flat tyres give a harder ride than standard tyres so you ride may feel smoother if fitted with standard tyres

Don't forget it's ilegal NOT to have a spare tire - the Z4 gets away with this because it has run flat tyres...

I know it's more expensive, I need to replace three on my car and I'm looking at £220 each!

anyone know of a cheap run flat tyre place? although this is the second set this year - because of punctures!!! (possibly cheap tyres!!)

I'd check on that CUTEADDER, as I don't think it's a legal requirement to have a spare tire - but it is illegal to have one that's not road worthy?

Rubbish you have to have a spare tyre at all, and it does not have to be road legal either, just you wont be able to use it if you wanted to!! They don't check the spare at a MOT.
