Hi

I'm new to this site or anyother come to think of it. My Cooper s is on 205 45 17 runflats & basically that is all they ever do (run flat).

I have got to replace them as they are now balder than me and so if anyone has any ideas on what's best to put on or why they constantly go flat I would be pleased to hear from you.

Incidentally my wife has a BMW X3 with runflats and one of the tyres does the same.

Regards

Bruno

I don't think there's a lot you can do with the runflats. My Mom's 'S' has them, and when they wear she just has them replaced with the same. Any my mates Cooper has them, he's after some new ones cheaply.

As for them running flat, are BMW not able to do anything about it under the TLC package?
