New tyres on the F10

Ok the winter boots are about to come off and I need two new tyres on my 18 inch summer wheels. So question is do I stick with the run flats already on or do I go traditional tyres and have two of each until the fronts wear?

Any help or advice greatly relieved

Thanks

You stick with run flats unless changing all of them I'd say. Having half and half on a car isn't a good idea, plus your insurance would be impacted.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to mix runflats on 1 axle with non-RFTs on the other???

I'd seize the moment and go to non-runflats all round. Store the 2 runflats that have some life in them if you have the space for now.

The only thing I don't like about my new car is the runflats, even on 18s. Same as last time. Can't wait to get non-RFTs on: probably Dunlop SportMaxx RT, fantastic tyres, just wear a bit quick.

I put on Nokian Z-lines late last year. Very nice and quiet - a real change from the runflats.

Michelin super sport work wonders, cannot wait to put them back on end of month, but on the run flat verses the normal tyres, big difference, I decided to go with normal tyres after having a set of normal winter tyres on my car! I guess if you never experience the normal tyres on you live but the difference is very on!
