I have 17 inch ex MCS wheels on my Cooper, what price "Cheapest first" can I expect to fork out for new tyres.

Hi Steve

I've just replaced two 17" runflats on my webspokes and they were £97 each for Dunlop SP9000s from mytyres.co.uk

Stevemac · Jun 27th, 2007, 09:01 AM

Thanks Nicky see you on the 8th

DaFlake · Jun 27th, 2007, 09:35 AM

You might check and see if you get the new Kumho run flats. They are running for 130 USD right now.

Gristy · Jun 27th, 2007, 09:00 PM

I paid £128 each for the new Dunlop runflats (205/45 R17 Sport SP01 DSSTs) fully fitted from my trusted local fitter

Here is a link to an American site with information on them.

If you've bought those Dunlop SP9000 from mytyres for £97 i've got some news for you.... those are not the runflat version. The correct model for runflat is SP SPORT 9000 DSST which is listed at £131.50

I've been looking at Mytyres as I also need a new one and the Dunlop SP9000 costing £96.30 say "rim-protection runout" - does that not mean runflat? I'm confused now!

I've been back onto Mytyres site and have now seen that the runflat tyres actually say "runflat" as well as "rim-protection runout" so I guess I've answered my own question! Looks like I'll have to spend £131.50 if I want Dunlops

WhiteNoiseMaker · Jun 29th, 2007, 07:59 PM

The rim-protection run out thing just means your tyre sticks out off your rims a little more than a normal tyre, so they are protected a tiny bit more.

Read more here

£131.50 isn't so bad there are lots of places charging £160+. If you want a cheaper runflat you could always try the Pirelli Euforia £110.10

Thanks for clarifying what the rim-protection thing is. I drove over a kerb in a multi story at the weekend

and now have a small mark on my alloy and a damaged tyre. It's actually the rim-protector that's got a kind of slit in it. There's been no loss of pressure from my tyre - do you think I need a new one. I've only been driving to work and back since doing it and not too fast at that!

WhiteNoiseMaker · Jun 29th, 2007, 09:10 PM

I'd say it sounds like you'll need a new tyre. Damage like that to the sidewalls of your tyre could cause your tyre to blow-out while driving. Best to take the car to a local tyre shop and have them take a look at it. You don't want to loose a tyre at 70 mph for the sake of £131.

Yeah that's what I thought

I plan to go down to a couple of tyre shops this weekend.
