Hi all,

I need to replace 4 tyres on my Mini and was wondering if anyone else is using Avon 17" Run Flat tyres? I've been offered these and they are quite a bit cheaper than other Run Flat tyres, I think £111 each.

I also want to stay clear of the Pirelli's as the 2 back tyres have plenty of tread left on them, yet large holes have appeared around the inside of the tyre with what appears to be metal coming through (Can only guess this makes up the sidewall of the run flat tyre). Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Thank you
Justin
