[Damo]

These threads will be familiar to most in relation to mine and others previous tyre wear problems with the 18" JCW rims and run-flat tyres:

18" JCW Run Flat Tyres 5000miles or less!
Very High JCW (Dunlop SP Sport 01) tyre wear!
Anyone with JCW 18"s

Just been sent the following link from a very helpful source (who shall remain nameless unless he chooses not to):

I take it no such release was ever seen for the Mini/JCW 18's problems ?... seems a bit tight of them especially with the amount of people who have issues with 6,000 miles life out of a set....

how many people have had problems tho?? i'm guessing its quite a small percentage??

My 5 series has eaten all 4 tyres in 15k........that memo makes interesting reading........

I only got 5000 miles from new with the Works rims.... I had put it down to the LSD scrubbing them more then normal... sounds like this might not be the case then???

i was just keeping the heat in them

Just a thought but with people seemingly in need of run flat replacements i have a set of Michelin run flats on there way to me if anyone would be interested? Got a set of wheels imported from the states and run flats were thrown in, they have covered around 500 miles and are faultless, should be with me within the next couple of weeks. If anyone is interested drop me a pm.

Thought it might help somebody avoid the crazy prices for a new set

Ive done 12,000 miles on my JCW wheels and ive on my 3rd set of tyres
