RUN FLAT vs NON RUN FLAT

I am interested in switching out from my OEM Run Flat Tires to Non-Run Flat Tires. Please advise of what the best tires are. I bought my BMW 328i Coupe in 2009 and I have changed my tires twice since buying. The hold no tread at all and they are very costly. Any suggestions....

Search is your friend here ....
Tons of threads on this topic.

I've been searching and cannot seem to find what I'm looking for.

That makes two of us. Information overload from all the threads in the forums.

Based on my research and all the reviews that I have read about all the tires that are well suited for my 328i the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Ultra High Performance All-Season) is best for my car.

Did you review this tire test? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=147

Diesel Power,

Thank you so much for sending me these reviews. After reading the reviews and checking the specs I think I will go with the Potenza. I am familiar with the tires as I have the Run Flat OEM Potenza on my car now. However, I would much rather do non run flat at this point. Have a great day.

+1 for the RE970 A/S Pole Position. Great tire!

I'm leaning towards the RE970AS as well.

Gary, in terms of handling, noise, and mileage (in that order), which tire would you recommend from the following: RE970AS, RE960AS RFT, P Zero Nero AS RFT, Primacy MXM4. My goal is to improve upon the OEM ContiProContact SSR.

I'd lean towards the RE970.

Thanks, Gary. The 30-day Buy and Try Guarantee is an added benefit.

Gary,

I was considering the 960AS rft as my next set. I had the non-run flat version on a 2004 Z4 and really liked them. How does the run flat version compare to the non run flat version?

I decided to go with the 960AS RFT. Really like them so far (500 miles). Welcome improvement compared to OEM ContiProContact SSR. About two weeks remaining on 30-day Buy and Try.
