who has got rid of the RunFlat and replaced with normal tyres?

what wheels have you got and what tyres also?

"Reedy" · Feb 1st, 2006, 07:16 PM

Yep got rid as soon as worn out.

S-spokes 215/45/17 goodyear eagle f1 GS-D2 very good

Dare x4 215/35/18 not sure what to put on them yet.

Olly. · Feb 1st, 2006, 07:30 PM

I've got the incredibly fast wearing Toyo T1R on my S Spokes.

I'm buying new wheels at the end of the month and will be going back to Runflats again. I'll be interested to see what going back to runflats will be like.

Quite looking forward to going back to the extra piece of mind to be honest.

laura f · Feb 1st, 2006, 07:32 PM

no runflats here.... have got falken 512's on (i think, 205/45/R17 is the size/profile)

front 2 are almost worn out now and need replacing, have lasted a good 15k miles ish

OZChris · Feb 1st, 2006, 07:40 PM

Both MINIs that I have owned ended up with non-RF tyres. With the current one, I had the dealer change them at pre-delivery. The current tyre specs are 215/40-17 in a Toyo Tranpath SW.

Ditch the RFs

Parc77 · Feb 1st, 2006, 08:10 PM

Replaced them along time ago, currently on Toyo Proxies T1-S and 2 x Yokohama AVS Sports on the rear, also had Kuhmos which I found to be pants and had Avon ZZR's

Still on heavy weight S-spokes...for now

Rakey · Feb 1st, 2006, 08:12 PM

wish there was a 'Will be getting rid of mine' option, as mine are soon to be binned for Eagle F1's

Tinkerbell · Feb 1st, 2006, 09:22 PM

Replaced my runflats last February for Pirelli P Zero Asymmetrics when I swapped my S Spokes for R99s, seemed like a good excuse

Kth911 · Feb 1st, 2006, 09:34 PM

same wheels (MC40 stock) with Hankook 215/40ZR17

Other: Toyo Proxy T1R Tyres

Jim Ray · Feb 1st, 2006, 10:04 PM

Still have the runflats and stock webspokes, but am running Falken 512's (195/60/15) on 6.5 wide Chinese alloys that weigh less than 14 lbs.

Probably will not go back, love the ride and easy steering of the non runflats. And the price of the tires.

Berthil · Feb 1st, 2006, 10:44 PM

Replaced the Pirelli's a month ago with Dunlop Sport Maxx 215/40 on my S-spokes.

MUCH more grip on damp roads. It sounds strange, but I find that the Dunlops hold their shape better in sharp and fast corners, I feel and hear less tire deformation. Could be also due to the fact that they are slightly lower than the original 205/45 Pirelli's. But I also got Eibach with 12mm spacers at the same time. I have much less road noise in the car, and I don't feel every little crack in the road anyymore, altough the suspension has gotten a little stiffer with the Eibachs.

another one here on Eagle F1's on std 16" rims

The std 16" rims are 195/55/16 - what size tires are the eagle F1s? and did they fit fine?

ButtonIt · Feb 2nd, 2006, 07:26 AM

I've had Eagle F1's, Pirelli P-Zero's and now have a set of Avon's wich I'm liking a lot

ScottyB · Feb 2nd, 2006, 07:28 AM

Non run-flats.

Michelin Pilot Precedas. 215/40/R17 - would definately buy them again too.

memphisto · Feb 2nd, 2006, 07:50 AM
