| Taken the plunge now, 215/40-18's fitted. NON RUN FLATS. My only problem now is that I am kicking myself..........
Have done 500 miles on these now and wish I had of fitted them so much earlier. Can now drive around and hit a small pothole without getting a broken back!
What finally made me change you ask...........
I had to meet the BMW technical manager to discuss the state of my rims and he agreed to change them under warranty. When I told him of my concerns with runflats, he told me,
"With my BMW hat on I have to advise you to refit the standard equipment, ie. Bridgestone runflats".
"Without my BMW hat on, a number of people have fitted standard tyres onto their Mini and have expressed a considerable increase in ride comfort without loss of handling or performance".
I ordered 4 new non-runflat tyres; took them to the Mini garage; they fitted them on 4 new rims; I took my Mini in and they fitted the new rims to the car.
WISH I HAD OF DONE IT SO MUCH SOONER!!!! |
