Just looking for some new front tyres for my MCS and like most/many am planning on ditching the useless runflats (ok they have added safety of the sidewalls etc etc) .
Anyway gave a call to a garage in Knaresborough (just outside Harrogate) and asked for a price on 205 45 17's for a MCS, the guy told the other half that you cannot put non-runflats on the Mini as it will invalidate your warranty, the tyres dont fit on the rims properly and they would not fit non runflats to a Mini and kinda made out it was dangerous, obviously I wont be taking my car there, due to the dont know what there talking about factor. Rang another garage up and advised them what car the tyres were for and he was more than helpful and also advised that what the other garage told me was the biggest load of crap, he advised that runflats were horrible
Forgot to mention the guy added - we have pirelli runflats at £120.00 a corner and when asked how much cheapest branded non runflats were he advised £73 but didnt give the brand.
