You managed to make a decision, purchase and fit in less than 8 hours?! Wow. That kind of decision takes most of us weeks, if not months!

There’s lots of detail on here about tyres - I know, as I’m a protagonist - as well as any other parts / servicing you might be considering. I’d always recommend using the search function. The results can keep you enthralled for hours

I’m guessing most people - and by that I’d wager all - would recommend you remove the BMW run flat tyres to improve the car’s ride. I assume the Pirelli rubber you’ve fitted are ‘normal’

Hi Kiwi Dave, welcome to the forum. Taken over 6 months for me to choose 2 tyres for the rear, lots of research on line and on here. Having them fitted tomorrow and still wondering if I've made the right choice :headbang: :rofl: :thumbsup:
