Run Flat tyres are good for people who don't know how to change a tyre or carry a spare. Most late model bmws, lexus audi etc have tyre pressure sensors and rft built into the onboard monitors which sense when a tyre loses pressure and alerts the driver also some bmw have specific tyres made to suit straight out of the bridgestone catalog. A run flat tyre can be driven at 80km for up to 80km and once used in run flat mode shouldn't be reinflated and used again clearly says so on the tyre so therefore a repair can be done but shouldn't. As with any tyre that is driven with little to no air its clearly noticeable when the tyre is removed that sidewall damage and rubber is missing usually found inside the tyre. sidewall damage cannot be repaired as it is illegal. One thing i have noticed is the sidewall is very thick and the compound of the rft tyres is much harder than an ordinary tyre and also more difficult to fit to a rim which would be why road noise will generally be louder but bang for buck you get the extra rubber for the extra money. (80ks on a 18inch tyre could be the difference between risking a dodgy space saver or paying through the nose in a small country town for a spare or making it back to a bigger centre)

Hi all, up for sale is a 1986 bmw e30 pre facelift sedan in very good condition for age with a little surface rust round the battery tray but except for that no rust in it. It has an m10 engine still fitted with a ring or valve stem seal problem causing it to smoke very badly so have almost removed the engine and box ready for upgrade and replacement it has factory rims and new bridgestone turanza tyres which can come with it depending on price. brakes suspension and auto box are in excellent working condition interior is clean with good door cards mint roof trim etc. it has the usual split in the front seats the electrics work well windows etc. had Wof up until start of this month and rego just run out has been put on hold. body is very straight and complete no bits missing from this one would make an awesome project, rebuild or repower. I also have a nice set of 18 inch mag wheels which look nice on it and a full m40 conversion with auto box ecu mounts xmembers radiator etc and only 150ks runs extremely well which is available seperatley or included for the right price. car is red with pretty good paint one guard has a lil clear coat peel but otherwise pretty sweet pictures to follow. asking 1000 ono cheers for looking
