    275/35/19 on rears coming up to replacement time. Currently on full set of Goodyear Eagle F1 runflats all round. Interested on any suggestions other owners might have. I've considered ditching the RFs altogether as there are plenty on various motoring for a advocating standard tyres over the RFs citing improved comfort and handling and it appears that the vast majority prefer the non-RF setup.

    Thanks in advance

    I had Pirelli P Zero RFTs since I bought my F30 and recently moved to normal Eagle F1 Assy 5's. The ride is much improved and the steering isn't as heavy even in sport mode. I would highly recommend them since you already like them in RFT.

    If you do ditch the runflats you'll need to source a spare tyre or space saver. The space savers are hard to get but not impossible if you look around. I paid 100 for mine from a seller on adverts that was never used before.

    The F1s are what a lot of BMW owners use or Pirelli cinturato p7s/ p zeros I've noticed. I recently got two Uniroyle Rainsport 5s for mine, bit early to tell what there like but they are supposed to be one of the best tyres for wet weather in their price range.

    Very useful resource based on data from many drivers over massive aggregate distances.

    Cheers MM, you got a source for supply?

    My local Firststop tyre garage. They supplied and fitted them.
