Spare Tire

asianstutter · 09-20-2013, 05:28 PM

Hey guys,
I drive a 330XI with 19 inch wheels staggered. I was wondering if i were to get a flat tire and change to the spare tire, Would i effect the awd system?

your spare tire should be within 1% the overall height to keep things in balance.

when i ditched my runflats in my '06 xdrive, I just got an air compressor and a plug kit. Had a flat, pulled out the nail, plugged it, pumped it up and I was on my way. Anything worse, I'll call a tow truck.

I haven't tried any of that slime stuff yet.

i still have run flats on my '09 and will probably replace them with runflats. the ride isn't as harsh as it was on the '06.

Which run flats does your 09 currently have?
