Ditch the runflats, get some Goodyear Eagle F1s

Got them from camskill.co.uk
It was free delivery awell.

heres a direct link to their offers page for tyres. http://camskill.co.uk/offers.php?cat=4
This link is better as it lists all tyres by size: Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres -

They have the toyo T1R's on there now for 84 quid, they didnt when i ordered mine

I need 4 tyres for my JCW wheels and so have ordered Michelin PS2...just gota wait until tomorrow for fitting.

I also looked at the Bridgestone runflats as these are ment to be the best available at moment.

thanks for getting back to me guys, well i stil have got a healthy set on the rear so i guess i need to get runflats to match them?

how far out do non runflat tyres go?basically do the nonrunflat tyres look the same as runflats dimensions wise??



also if i got a nonrunflat set i have got no spare tyre so what would happen if i got a puncher?

just remember too, Runflats protect your rims a lot more on pot holes. I will stick to run flats on my R105's and buy a second set of 15's for track days etc.
