But in the mad rush I forgot to tighten up the wheel nuts. Luckily enough my wheel didn't fall off and I found it just in time.
All you do is Loosen the wheel nuts, jack the car up, completely undo the wheel nuts and change wheel for wheel unless you get directional tyres. You normally get directional once you go past 16". They have an arrow on the side of them and that is the way you put them on driving forwards.

We all ditch the run flats, they are crap. Make to much noise and are really heavy.

I have the m7 STB, I can't really say too much cause I didn't put it on alone, I also put in a H&R 27mm front sway bar with adjustable end links and in the rear I put in a 25mm Competition sway bar with upper and lower control arms with adjustable end links. When My car goes over a bump my chassis is so stiff that if I go over it on an angle the opposite wheel lift off the floor. I have NO BODY roll at all!!!

ic...learnt something here... I'm so afraid that if im driving on the road/highway, and the tyre is flatted or punctured...I have no idea what to do....god...so I use run-flat tyre, at least can still move...
