Runflat discussion

Rusky · Post by **Rusky** » Sat May 20, 2017 6:24 pm

So i am interested in everyones opinions, experiences and views. I have a 3.0i prefacelift on runflats and recently switched to Eibach pro sports that has eliminated the harsh crashy drive. Springs have transformed the ride, my question therefore is why do people change from runflats, my plan is to change but just curious now as to what the improvements will be. Yes it will depend on the tyres i change to so lets say they will be a mid to premium set.

It's simply a much better ride and handling improves too but it's the ride you notice most. Just do it.

wheel refurb and tyres are the next big job on the list.

I bought my zed from a mechanic who sold me the car with a spare tyre in a bag the boot.

He said "you can get a canister to refill the tyres.....but what's the point?"

Well, in my experience, the point is fitting anything other than a loaf of bread and a pint of milk in the boot.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the ride in these cars (certainly mine) is hard enough. Runflats are just exacerbating the problem. Get normal tyres and a canister (as much as the mechanic would disagree).

Already have a canister and electric pump from a previous car. There is no question of me not changing but i am interested to hear peoples opinions on what improvements they have seen.

Let's just say M cars dont have them for a reason;)
Plus side walls so reinforced there's no flex nor feedback and that won't aid your rise
As tyres carry the weight of the car

Remove them - better handling, better rice, silly to keep them imo
