Not often on here because err... I haven't got a 5er.

But keeping in mind the title of this thread particularly "(with no changing wheels)"...

On my E91 running 18s I fully intended to just have the tyres swapped and use the same wheels. I got hold hold of some Contis and had the summer run flats taken off in November 2011. However, when I returned in the new year to have the run flats put back on the fitter warned me that the machines can cause considerable damage to the runflat sidewall. Run flats are just not designed to be taken off, put back on, taken off etc etc.

He had no motive for telling me this other than being helpful and I also heard this from another fitter at another tyre outlet.
