    Hi all,

    Need to replace 4 tyres on my 2013 F10. Not sure whether to go with run flats or not.
    Currently have Pirelli P7 Cinturato 225 55 R17 97Y on them.
    Been quoted 250 a corner for these in local tyre shop but see I can get them online for €168 so reckon I could get them fitted for another 10-12 per coner

    Would consider going to no run flats too but am a little clueless about what to select so open to opinions.

    Thanks

    The problem with the F10 is that if you go to normal tyres then you have no space saver, unlike the E60 which you could actually get a space saver for.


    The newer run flats are very good, we have Pirelli P-Zeros on our F10 Sport with the 19" wheels and they are quite comfortable tbh.

    Had looked into that. Can either buy a space saver kit and store in the boot or else have if you go with Michelin tyres they give you 2 free years of road side assistance. http://www.tyreassist.com/

    I have a F10 too and I am very happy with the performance and comfort of the RFTs, will be replacing them with the same when the time comes.

    Ended up with Pirelli P7s. Worked out at 175 a corner fitted from local garage. They were 168 online so not worth ordering them as fitting would have been extra. Sometimes worth shopping around before ordering online. Another garage quoted 250 for exact same tyre.

    Deffo, and there's a lot of garages price matching online prices too.

    I hate the p7's I have on my F11.

    Can't wait to get them off, noisy, horrible feel, hard.....terrible things.
