has anyone on here got a BMW 123d?

Surely only 250 each if you are daft enough to buy the runflats.....

£20 quid cheaper for non runflats, 245s on rear, runflats are fine and work when you get a flat, don't see what's daft about it, runflats are much better than what they were 10 years ago.

If you are paying 250 per tyre... That is daft. No point in runflats.

Tempting fate indeed. Funnily enough I was just reading this story on M5Board. I wonder what difference run-flats would have made in that situation?

Little to no difference IMO. Losing pressure at 180km/h, especially on the rear is bad. They don't feel like a normal tyre when flat, they still squirm around and they rapidly destroy the sidewalls, which is why you can't re-use them.

Had these on my 135i, they were shockingly poor at handling any lateral grip even after a few hundred miles of use. Replaced with Conti sport 3 and the difference was huge.

My 335d had an issue with slow punctures in both rear tyres (runflats) and after doing 40 miles at 50mph to get home the sidewalls of both were destroyed and unusable, so ditched them for non runflats.

Odd. I have them and they're superb. Took a while to get rid of the block wobble, but a few laps of Rockingham sorted that.

It is odd, others have given very positive reviews but the tyres I had were shockingly bad. I was going to continue with them but then the missus was driving one day, totally dry, all driving aids on and not going fast by any means and she lost the back end, managed to correct it and all was ok but a bit scary.
