Just wanted to know what you guys without rft are using/intending if you get puncture or blowout as no spare? I have a 1 year old and for safety with grip etc switched from rft but dread being stranded in the worse case. AA member but they will be useless and in winter will take hours. Plus i dont have space for a spare as need every inch of boot space

Any ideas?

The M3 comes with a mobility kit to repair a puncture. Obviously it will not work if the tyre is shredded but then neither would a run flat.

Get the Mobility kit and enjoy the better ride and handling on non run flat tyres (and the cheaper replacement costs)

Here is the kit, i am sure if you look around on ebay etc it can be found cheaper.

If you fancy splashing out on the genuine kit have a read through this. But ignore the childish comments.

Carried 2 cans of tyre weld and ran non run flats for 2 years!

Defo a better ride!

Got non run flats and car is soo much smoother, less spine breaking and now if i put my foot down actually goes like stink instead of spinning -

I bought a genuine space saver from BMW which I used on longer journeys and had a mobility kit for everywhere else.

Ditched my RFTs and have a can of therefor and a compressor in the boot. Have also suffered a puncture and the can and compressor worked a treat

Bought a slime kit off ebay and carry two compressors. Having just shredded a runflat, they do still work but the comfort of my winter tyres has me saving for non-runflat tyres.
