Changing Rear Tyres

Hi everyone!

OK, Rear tyres will need changing soon. I currently have the stock Bridgestone Potenza 255/ 35/ 18 runflats.

I was wondering if I can get Michelin PS2 runflat for the rears only? as my front tyres are still in good shape.

Would it affect performance and grip?

Or should I just stick to Potenzas on all 4 for the time being?

Thanks!

I think the worst combo is part RFT's and part standard tyres lol... you might be ok with a mix and match set of either RFT or standard..

Matt, I would never mix runflats and with non runflats! I was thinking of going for Michelins PS2 runflats for the rears.

But I think I might just stick with Potenza for now.

Just called BMW Park lane for a quote:

£608 for 2 tyres!!! STEALERS!!!

Michelins RFT's are massively better than the Bridgestones IMO

Oddly, I just changed from Michelins to Bridgestones, and there is no doubt that new Bridgestones are better than worn Michelins...

I cant remember far enough back to compare the Michys when new!
