Change runflat tires
Hi
I want to change my runflat tires to non-runflat. I noticed that many of you did it. So, if you have some problems with your tires, how are you going to fix it? Do you have a spare tire in the trunk? front tires: 245/19. Rear: 275/19 Last edited by Artur-F10; 03-12-2012 at 01:33 AM.. |

I have the same spare "kit" as pieced together here with the Maxxis tire.
http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...ighlight=spare From the looks of the Bimmerzone ad, it also includes a centering ring, so it may be the exact same setup. Cover it and strap it down. I also keep a ContiComfortKit in the trunk as a back up. It fits nicely in the passenger side trunk compartment. You can get those from TireRack http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=38

Yes this will fit, 18 ", 19" or 20 "rolling circumference should be them same. I am running on runflat tires due. Security these provide the high speed German autobahn.

The spare fits both front and rear, front fitment is critical due to large front calipers. Remember, its just to get you home or to repair, no autobahn runs

Also, do you think it is true that f10's suspension and other systems were made to work only with runflat? Does it wear fast? Last edited by Artur-F10; 03-12-2012 at 04:46 PM.. |

BMW recommends not exceeding 50mph and no more than 100 miles on the space saver spares. I've exceed both with no problems.
I am sure BMW will claim the suspension is "tuned" for the RF's, but after 6k miles with the Conti DW's I am not going back - no unusual wear at all.
