I'm considering switching from run flats to non run flats on my F10, but only two of the tyres currently need replacing. Would having run flats on the front and non run flats on the rear cause any issues (e.g. handling) due to the different wall thickness?

Hello, My 530D has Michelin Primacy 3 tyres on it, and I'm about to buy replacement tyres. The current ones stick out from the rims, which is great for not scraping the times on the curb. Will all tyres of the same size stick out slightly?

Hi There, I have a 2016 650i with 10,000 klms. Factory Dunlop runflats were driving me made so I arranged for the local tyre shop to fit a set of new non runflat PS4S....Great tyres BUT...The car is leaning down to the right very noticeably. It appears the back right suspension has sagged. I...

Sorry if this an old question! I need to buy new tyres for my X3 2007 3ld sport but am getting a bit confused! Would really appreciate if anyone can advise. I am in a remote location and need to order them. Many forum posts strongly suggest 4x4s need the exact same tyres size/type on all 4...

I have a BMW X5 (e53) 4.4i Sport 2004 I have been offered a set of 4x 255 55 19 tyres at a great price. Can I fit 255 55 19 tyres on all four wheels? I think I have the standard 18" rims I have been told they would be fine from some garages and then on the other hand I have been told they...

I cant find the answer to this anywhere. So i got a used 66 plate X3 m sport with 6000 miles on. Pretty good so far but after i drove away i noticed one of the tyres was a good year, not michelin primacy 3. This lead to me finding all sorts of horror stories about transfer boxes exploding...

I have an X1 which is two months old and has done just less than a thousand miles. I drive like your grandma because I always have my little girl in the car. I got a puncture in one tyre and BMW said I have to replace all four due to wear in the tread. The tyres are run-flats and it is going to...

Hello all. Driving the other day and suddenly a warning that says something like "tyre stuck" shows up. I don't recall exactly it was. Although it was something to do with the tyre. It wasn't a flat tyre warning either. Didn't come up again. I would like to know what happened and why it...

Hi. Until last year I had an old 4.4 2000 X5, and I use it a lot in the snow. It was brilliant. (I liv in Switzerland where hard packed snow and ice are common at the ski resorts) Last year I got a M50d. The garage gave me a spare set of wheels + tyres. (Its customary here to put summer tyres...

My rear tyre got punctured. I saw the quotes most are £180+. I can't afford that right now just on a tyre. Im in tough financial circumstances. My question is can i use a non run flat tyre with the 3 run flat tyre. Will this cause any problem, mechanically, driving wise? Will it void my...

Hey folks, like many threads here, I can also testify that excessive inside rear tyre wear is common on BMWs, and I thought just on the tourers at first (having owned a 528 before and now a 320i touring), but reading these threads it seems saloons suffer too. Anyway, just having some MoT...
