It's true. Why would you need a spare tire with run-flats?

ogrady · 05-24-2005, 06:20 PM

LOL have you read the manual that's posted here? If you read through the manual and that product information bulletin you'll learn a ton of basic (and advanced) stuff about this car. I included the link below.

Is there at least a place to store a spare tire ? because if it doesn't that means you can't put other tires than run flats, which would suck

No place to put a spare

i still want to know whats going to happen when you blow a tire 400Km from any city on a saterday afternoon on your way to a vacation. It s going to ruin the whole holiday.

Use a puncture-repair kit?

Better yet, just keep one in the back seat!

There is plenty of room in the trunk if you're that paranoid about it

Hey, how often do you guys on the other side of the pond blow your tires

??

I once had trouble with tires on my car... and that was with all 4 of them when I spinned several times on the Autobahn :rocks: So the one spare tire I had on that car was kind of useless to me...

There is room in the trunk for a spare but you'll have to tie it down. The run flats are very heavy. You will also need a jack.

If you blow a run flat on a Saturday night 400 km from the nearest repair shop, you're s**t out of luck. BMW will flat bed the car to the nearest shop but how long will that take? All this for a flat tire????

I'm having 17" Michelin Pilot Primacy tires installed this week and I'll take my chances with getting a flat. The last blow-out was 25 years ago.

The Bridgestone run flats are far too noisey at all speeds and ride too hard. They seem to have lost their cornering grip in just 20,000 km. (12,500 miles)

I'll carry a patch kit and a portable compressor.
