Ebay... I just got 2 brand new Run Flats for £115 + P&P.

Other than that, blackcircles.com or etyres.co.uk where about the cheapest I could find, but they are all fairly similary priced

Etyres are good, I'd recommend em.

Give BMW a ring they are not always over pirced.

Also worth a try is camskill - Car Tyres

i'd also add, if you love your car, then love it more try some standard tyres, non-runflats will change your car beyonf belief and for the better

YES I do love my car!!! no question about that at all!!

Do you think having normal tyres on the car will affect the price/ put people off when I come to sell?

thanks

for runflat tyres at cheap prices you can always try Magnum tyres in Ely who offer mail order deliver or mobile fitting within their region.

I always find Micheldever Tyres are best for any performance tyre and they usually have quite a choice, even in exotic sizes. Micheldever Tyre & Auto Services

I believe they are the largest independent tyre dealer in the UK and, if you're in Slough, it's not too far a run. Beware, there is always a big queue, especially at peak times, for their 'drive through' fitting service but there is a comfortable waiting area they have just extended.

As has been said, you may consider ditching the run-flats. There is plenty of discussion about it on this forum. I've gone for Vredestein Ultrac 17" non-run-flats (not available from Micheldever, though) on my 2004 Cooper; very smooth and great wet grip. Topically, the Ultrac is a summer tyre, I'm running Michelin Alpins at the moment for winter... I must be the only person in the south of England with winter tyres! They also do a run-flat - Quatrac 3. That is new and I've not tried them; I ran Goodyear run-flats and found them better than the others, especially Pirelli, which I found horrible.
