Replacing Run Flats Question

portcrap

I have a BMW 320D with 3 run flats that need replacing. As these cost around 350e a go I was thinking replacing all four tyres with normal ones, might be a good (cheap) idea.

Can anyone recommend good economical tyres to go with?
And someone that will replace them, do the tracking for a reasobnable price in galway city?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Have a look around adverts.ie + donedeal, you might get a nice full set of BMW alloys off an E46 with tires quite easily/cheap. Then you can try them out and see if you like how the car handles etc...

The alloys I have are pretty good. Its just the tyres I need. Is there a particular make / brand that reliable and cheap?

Ahhh ok gotcha. Are they 205/55/r16? If so you should be able to pick up a decent brand for €80/corner... Others here will advise on which brands are better...

I would advise changing them all to normal tyres - you'll save in the long run. I put falkens on my last two car - middle of the road prices and decent performance in wet and dry

Definatly change all 4 to normal tyres if you are getting rid of the runflats. Having one runflat and 3 normal tyres could cause very odd handling.

Remember you'll need a spare too...
