Runflats have "Runflat" written on the sidewall smile

....absolute bugger to get them on / off a rim due to the thickness of the sidewall.

If a tyre does go down, it will look a little low. The error on the iDrive comes from the ABS sensors. As the tyre loses pressure, the ECU picks up the size difference between the good tyre and low tyre (low tyre travles more revolutions) and flags up the error smile

...of course the other way of checking is to check the pressure.

M cars don't use run flats.

Nor should be you be replacing your old mans tyres with something 'cheap' - not with 500bhp being put onto the tarmac through them.

£90 a corner on the rear of an M5, are you crazy? Are you trying to kill your Dad?

That's not an excuse. The tyres are the only things keeping your father in contact with the road.

£90 a corner will not get you tyres that are in any way acceptable for the rear of an M5.

Like he said, his dad doesn't drive fast so there's no need for 500bhp tires!

Firstly not sure about m's using runflats, I remember looking for a spare in the boot and all I could find was a can of really expensive looking pump operated tyre weld, but I managed to get them at 50ish a corner and those little puppies took the car to 170 with no probs...on a number of occations (santa pod of course smile


Uncertainty or not knowing causes depression, Im happy because I know I'm going to die one day!
