    Anyone have any experience with these - Bridgestone Turanza ER300 Run Flats. I see First Stop are selling them as their main Run Flat option.

    I have Dunlops on my X5 at the moment and they need replacing. Would not use Dunlop again as they have worn out much faster than my last set.

    If it is wear that you're concerned most, there is only one word. Michelin. The run-flats are marked with ZP (Zero Pressure).

    Turanza ER300 is ok, much more durable than Turanza T001 in my experience. But nowhere close to virtually any Michelin.

    Just put Bridgestone drivegaurds on mine at the weekend. Early days yet but they seem a lot quieter than the Firestone's they replaced.

    Reviews are good and wet performance is among the best I've seen for runflats.

    Thanks for the replies. Wet performance was a factor I considered. I'll give them a whirl anyway....

    If they are going on a X5 then they are probably a uncommon sized tyre and very expensive to buy locally so it might be worth comparing with online prices + fitting locally.
