Run Flats VS Non Run Flats

Can you direct me to the post on this forum for the UK?

I am sure there will be one.

Had my Conv with 19s 3 weeks already got a £300 bill for a tyre... thinking of plunging now and spending the £1000 to replace them all with non run flats -

I am trying to work out the economy vs hassle -

Of

a. Buying run flat insurance - IE £300 for my tyre today and £350 for insurance

b. Spending £300 more and getting all new tyres that are allegedly better.

I noted some forums hating the run flats and to be fair I tend to agree... BUT these ones AT THIS STAGE are not noisy, yes they bang about a bit, but seem OK. I wonder if BMW have improved the run flats over the years....OR
I will realise the noise and hidouesness when the tyres have worn a bit...

I have lots of tread - these tyres are new ish.

One of the most discussed subjects on BMW forums like this, BMWLand is a good place to look as well. Worth a search to get the complete picture, and it saves posting the same details. You don't have to look to hard, to get the topics before you.
