how many of you guys got rid of your runflats

ryan970 · 04-26-2011, 10:05 PM

those dam runflats are annoying. I need to get new tires

PINeely · 04-26-2011, 10:08 PM

I did, went for Conti Extreme Contact DWS instead. Feels like a totally different car.

dcat151 · 04-26-2011, 10:09 PM

Not yet. But, as soon as this set of tires is done I'm ditching the run-flats.

MRVBC · 04-26-2011, 10:11 PM

I did, much better ride now.

alpine335xi · 04-26-2011, 10:12 PM

I ditched run flats in favor of conti DWS. They are great tires and def changed/improved feel of the car.

RaceBlood · 04-26-2011, 10:21 PM

I ditched em within 7 days of purchase, they are shit. there was a guy at a BMW Autocross event last sat from a tire dealer that was bridgestone, he had provided the hot dogs/snacks for free, but I dont think 20 people actually talked to him, and no enthusiast was interested in RFT's, so that should tell your something...

John_01 · 04-27-2011, 12:47 AM

I put the Bridgestone runflats on ebay very soon after taking delivery.

blacknbean · 04-27-2011, 01:02 AM

yup best mod on the car to date. even better than a tune for me since the RFTs were driving me to sell the car since i live in pothole city. now all is well.

thkfast · 04-27-2011, 01:14 AM

Yes, the difference is amazing. I waited too long!

Ghost170 · 04-27-2011, 01:30 AM

long time ago when i got new wheels!

1QuikWS6 · 04-27-2011, 03:12 AM

Mine are gone (well, they're stored with wheels for trade-in time) - use Blizzak WS70 in the winter & Conti DW in the summer

WPGM5 · 04-27-2011, 05:17 AM

Michelin Pilot Super Sports arrived today. Going on Saturday.

ChrisJadesFireF82 · 04-27-2011, 08:57 AM

what tires are the best bang for the buck...i need to ditch my runflats...thanks to this miserable winter i have a bubble on each of my front tires thanks to ny's unbelievable ability to repair potholes in a timely fashion on our major hws...so im lookin to change asap

another question i got is what are you all doing for a spare since your not running rft's?

Manoah · 04-27-2011, 09:02 AM

looking on tire rack, it seems like the conti DWS would be the best bang for the buck, but people here seem to be running either the conti DW or the michelin pilot power super sports.
