Goodyear Eagle F1s on 18" wheels

I want tor replace runflats on JCW 18" wheels. Kwikfit say that not available in thet size. Is this right?

Also - exactly what do I need to do to the tyre sensor?

Finally - what is the best GLOOP kit?

Thanks.

Check www.mytyres.co.uk - they have 215/35/18 listed as a size.

I don't think you need to do anything to the tyre sensor - IIRC it works by comparing the radius of the wheels as they are moving, so there is not actually a sensor attached to the tyre.

Not sure about gloop.

So just to clarify--the tire pressure monitors work with both runflat and non-runflat tires, and installation is not affected? Any issues with running non-runflats, aside from the obvious "what do I do if I get a flat" thing?
Thanks

Reset it from inside the car with the button down by the handbrake..
