Will be ready to replace the runflats on my JCW 105's soon, but i remember when they came out a mention of they could only be fitted with runflat tyres, whats the story???did see a member when they came out put non-rf's but cant find the thread.

What tyres does anyone else have on their JCW r105's apart from the run-flats??

215/40 R18 Pirelli P Zero Nero (if not lowered)
215/35 R18 Yokohama Parada Spec 2's.
