Consequence of always wanting to have a say I guess..... :drink:

:biglol:

Couldn't have said it better.......

On that note Pirelli's are awesome, currently have a set of P-Zero's on (RFT)....

This thread is funny :biglol:

But night and day difference between RFT and non-RFT, even a shit brand non-RFT will 'feel' better in terms of ride quality/comfort.

a little off topic

There doesn't seem to be a big price difference between non runflats and runflats, so am thinking I should rather put runflats the next time I change my tyres, I do have a space saver in case someone makes a comment lol. Now I am feeling the space saver is a waste as it just takes up space in the boot.


BTW I am loving my Eagle f1 Asymmetric 2 runflats

No no, can't say that. Not comparable.

You missing the point, and that's exactly what Sankekur and Yulz meant here. It is actually unfair to compare a RFT to a non RFT. Its two totally different types of tire. You can fairly compare different brands of RFT to each other and different types of non RFT to each other.

I've played around with runflats/non runflats since 2005 from E90 to E92 and now E93.

2005, my E90 325i Exclusive pack came with Bridgestone 17" runflats

Negatives: Horrible ride. Every little road imperfection felt like driving over a landmine. Car developed rattles quickly.

Positives: This generation runflats could be driven longer with a flat tire. I drove from Bloem to Kroonstad on a flat tire, bought a R40 plug, continued to JHB.

Non-runflat experience: I replaced them with Michelin pilot primacy non-runflat and ride comfort improved a lot. However, the car didn't feel as sharp around corners.

2007, my E92 335i M-Sport pack came with Pirelli Eufori 19" runflats

Negatives: Pirelli wet handling sucked. 19" runflat availability was a problem. Driven them flat and only lasted 80kms.

Positives: 2nd Generation 19" runflats on M-Sport E92 were more comfortable than 1st Generation 17" runflats on Exclusive pack E90. I also think BMW must have adjusted suspension settings on E92.

Non-runflat experience: I replaced them with Toyo Proxes. Made little difference in ride quality (if any). 2 Toyo Proxes cost R4000, less than one runflat tire. They last longer.

Alternative runflat : Since non-runflat made no comfort gains, I replaced Toyo with Pirelli PZero runflats. Immediately, I could feel same ride comfort as non runflats. Car was just a joy.

2010, my E93 335i M-Sport pack came with Michelin Pilot Sport 18" runflats

Negatives: They are expensive. More than Bridgestones and Pirelli

Positives: Probably the best all round runflat tires. They definitely last longer.

Alternative runflat : I replaced Michelin with Pirelli PZero and still happy. I like the ride so much that I don't have desire for non-runflat.

2014, test drove 435i Coupe and 428 Convertible with 19" runflats

Positives: Ride comfort is brilliant. This car on "comfort" mode is relaxing. However, on Sport+ mode, road undulations are felt but they never transferred into the cabin or steering wheel feel. Looking forward to buying the 435i.

Thank you for a detailed review. It’s always awesome to see that someone did homework and can give you a proper explanation for choices made. :thumbs:
