I switched my 550i from RFT to standard years ago and didnt look back....BUT the car has a spare tire.

My e93 m-sport does not have a spare. I have ERS with Geico if I had an emergency flat tire. but that is a pain in the rear.

looking at tire rack, they offer two sets of RFTs. Bridgestone Potenza and Pirelli p-zero. My OEM tires are Pirelli. four tires (not including install) are $1350 or $1550 respectively. ALOT of money for rubber.

the other options on Tire Rack include Michelin Pilot super sports for $1050...$300 savings. Or drop to Kumho's and spend $750. HALF the price.

What does everyone do with their e90s with no spare tire??

thx

I ran non rfts on my m3 and my current 335i. Keep in mind even on rfts you have to get it fixed/repaired within 50 miles. As long as you have AAA or similar towing options i'd go non rft. You can't have a spare when you have a staggered set up anyway unless you carry two. I'd go michelin pss.

thx. I am thinking the same. Michelin PSS and put a fix a flat kit in the trunk.

Any truth to PSS have better treadlife than others? Michelin claims it....

Do it. I switched to PSS on my E93 IS with 19's. Couldn't be happier. Better ride, handling and less noise than the POS brickstones. Too soon for treadlife report.

thx. Did you put a fix a flat kit or pump in the trunk?

[Steve335i]

Nope. AAA.

We got a compact spare kit and use that.
