Tyres?
Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2017 9:30 pm
I'm new to my Z4, having only owned it for three weeks, but from what I've heard most people seem to change from runflats to normal tyres... for a few reasons, price, and handling seem to be the main ones - So a few questions for those that have done it....
1. Does it help with tramlining? Going over the central road markings certainly causes bad tramling on my car, but otherwise it handles fine.
2. Does it give a slightly softer ride than runflats?
3. What about the lack of a spare wheel - What do you use? Get a spare wheel if so where to fit it? Use an electric pump and some tyre "gunk" in case of a puncture?
My car is on 18" wheels (which I don't want to change!), so any help or advice would be appreciated...
I'm in no hurry as my tyres have plenty of life left in them and I don't beleive in just throwing money away for the sake of it, but I would like to know what to expect when the time comes to change tyres.
Regards
Eddy
